30 Then Mephibosheth said to the king, "Rather, let him take it all, inasmuch as my lord the king has come back in peace to his own house."

Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Samuel 19:30

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.
