Matthew Henry · Verses 24–30
David recalls the forfeiture of Mephibosheth's estate; and he expressed joy for the king's return. A good man contentedly bears his own losses, while he sees Israel in peace, and the Son of David exalted.
2 Samuel 19:27
He has slandered your servant to my lord the king, but my lord the king is as an angel of God. Do therefore what is good in your eyes.
