28 See, I will tarry in the plain of the wilderness, until there come word from you to certify me.
28 I will wait at the fords in the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me."
28 See, I will wait at the fords of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me."
28 I'll wait at a spot in the wilderness across the river, until I get word from you telling us what's up."
28 See, I will wait in the plains of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me."
28 I will stop at the shallows of the Jordan River and wait there for a report from you."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Samuel 15:28
Commentary on 2 Samuel 15:24-30
(Read 2 Samuel 15:24-30)
David is very careful for the safety of the ark. It is right to be more concerned for the church's prosperity than our own; to prefer the success of the gospel above our own wealth, credit, ease, and safety. Observe with what satisfaction and submission David speaks of the Divine disposal. It is our interest, as well as our duty, cheerfully to acquiesce in the will of God, whatever befalls us. Let us see God's hand in all events; and that we may not be afraid of what shall be, let us see all events in God's hand. David's sin was ever before him, Psalm 38:4.
