2 Samuel 16:4 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Thine are all that pertained unto Mephibosheth; a rash sentence, and unrighteous, to condemn a man unheard, upon the single testimony of his accuser and servant. But David's mind was both clouded by the deep sense of his calamity, and biassed by Ziba's great and seasonable kindness, And he might think that Ziba would not dare to accuse his master of so great a crime, which, if false, might so easily be disproved. I humbly beseech thee that I may find grace in thy sight: thy favour is more to me than this gift; which, as a token of thy favour, I accept with all thankfulness.

2 Samuel 16:4

4 Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, thine are all that pertained unto Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I humblya beseech thee that I may find grace in thy sight, my lord, O king.
