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 19:29
The king said to him, “Why do you speak any more of your matters? I say, you and Ziba divide the land.”
