Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 2 Samuel 19:20

Thy servant doth know that I have sinned; I do not excuse my sin, but with grief and shame confess it; in which case the Lord thy God is ready to pardon offenders, and so I trust wilt thou be. I am come the first; the sense of my former sin now hath, and whilst I live will, make me the first and most forward in all acts of duty and service to thy majesty. Of all the house of Joseph. Object. He was a Benjamite, 2 Samuel 16:5. How then doth he make himself one of the house of Joseph? Answ. The... read more

i.e. The king. By this expression he minds David of his former zeal against those who offered any injury to Saul, because he was the Lord’s anointed, 1 Samuel 24:6; 1 Samuel 26:9; and therefore demands the same justice against Shimei for his cursing of the king, which was so expressly forbidden, Exodus 22:28, and by the analogy of that law, Exodus 21:17, might seem punishable with death. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 2 Samuel 19:22

What have I to do with you? I do not ask, neither will I take, your advice in this matter. Ye sons of Zeruiah; implying that Joab’s hand was in this contrivance, or that he suspected it. That ye should this day be adversaries unto me, i.e. that you put me upon things unfit for me to do, and contrary to my present interest; for it was David’s interest at this time to appease the people, and reconcile them to him, and not now to give them any new distaste by acts of severity; for this would make... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 2 Samuel 19:23

Thou shalt not die, to wit, this day, as Abishai desireth; nor whilst I live, nor by my hands, as it is repeated and explained, 1 Kings 2:8; nor for this cause alone. For though David gave order to Solomon for his punishment after his death; nor was it fit for the public good that such a horrid crime should go unpunished; yet he would not have him punished for this fault alone, but for some other capital crime, which he presumed Shimei’s temper would easily betray him to, and Solomon’s deep... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 2 Samuel 19:24

The son of Saul, i.e. the grandson, 2 Samuel 9:3,2 Samuel 9:6. Had neither dressed his feet; by cutting his nails, and by washing his feet, which was usual in those hot climates, and very refreshing; and therefore now neglected, as becoming a mourner. Nor trimmed his beard; but suffered it to grow very long and disorderly, as was usual with many persons in a forlorn or mournful state. Nor washed his clothes; his linen clothes. This and the former were signs that he was a true and obstinate... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 2 Samuel 19:25

When he was come to Jerusalem; so it is supposed, that Mephibosheth, though he went to meet the king, wanted either courage or fit opportunity to speak to the king till he came to Jerusalem, because of the great multitudes that addressed themselves to the king by the way. Though it might more reasonably be thought that he could not go from Jerusalem to meet the king, as others did, because he wanted conveniences for his journey; for Ziba had gotten all his lands and goods, 2 Samuel 16:4, and it... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 2 Samuel 19:28

Before my lord the king, i.e. before thy tribunal: we were all at thy mercy; not my estate only, (which thou hast now granted to Ziba,) but my life also was in thy power, if thou hadst dealt with rigour, and as earthly kings use to do with their predecessors’ and enemies’ children. For otherwise by the law of God Saul himself had not deserved to die by David’s hands, as David himself confessed; much less his children, who were not to die for their father’s sins, Deuteronomy 24:16. But... read more
