2 Samuel 19:28 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

All my father's house were but dead men before my lord Before thy tribunal: we were all at thy mercy; not my estate only, 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. What right have I yet to cry? For the vindication of my honour, and the restitution of my estate.

2 Samuel 19:28

28 For all of my father's house were but deadd men before my lord the king: yet didst thou set thy servant among them that did eat at thine own table. What right therefore have I yet to cry any more unto the king?
