2 Samuel 3:36 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Took notice of it; observed what the king said and did. It pleased them; they were satisfied concerning David's integrity, and the method he used here for his own just vindication. Whatsoever the king did; either in this matter; or rather, in all things following this action. The meaning is, by his carriage herein he gained so great an interest in the hearts of his people, that they judged most favourably of, and put the best construction upon, all his words and actions; as, on the contrary, when people have a prejudice against or an ill will towards their prince, they are apt to judge most harshly of all his counsels and doings.

2 Samuel 3:36

36 And all the people took notice of it, and it pleased them: as whatsoever the kingj did pleased all the people.
