25 And it came to pass, when he was come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said unto him, Wherefore wentest not thou 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.
