Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If the LORD have stirred thee up against me, let him accept an offering: but if [they be] the children of men, cursed [be] they before the LORD; for they have driven me out this day from abiding in the inheritance of the LORD, saying, Go, serve other gods.
Ver. 19. Let him accept an offering.] Heb., Let him smell, viz., the savour of a sacrifice, and be reconciled through the passion of Christ, whereof those sacrifices were sacraments. And hereunto David doubted not but God would condescend, for he is gracious, and doth abundantly pardon. Isa 55:7
From abiding in the inheritance of the Lord.] This troubled David more than the loss of all other comforts and accommodations.
Saying, Go, serve other gods.] This they said not verbally, but interpretatively, and upon the matter, when they compelled him to sojourn in Mesech and Kedar.
