25 Now when he had come from Jerusalem to see the king, the king said to him, Why did you not come with me, Mephibosheth?

Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Samuel 19:25

Commentary on 2 Samuel 19:24-30

(Read 2 Samuel 19:24-30)

David recalls the forfeiture of Mephibosheth's estate; and he expressed joy for the king's return. A good man contentedly bears his own losses, while he sees Israel in peace, and the Son of David exalted.
