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 19:30
Mephibosheth said to the king, “Yes, let him take all, because my lord the king has come in peace to his own house.”
