2 Samuel 16:8 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Of Saul — Either, The blood of Abner and Ishbosheth; which he imputes to David, as if they had been killed by David's contrivance: or, the death of Saul's seven sons, 2 Samuel 21:8, which, though related after this, seems to have been done before. Art taken — The same mischief thou didst bring upon others, is now returned upon thy own head.

2 Samuel 16:8

8 The LORD hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and the LORD hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son: and, behold, thou art taken in thy mischief,d because thou art a bloody man.
