27 Ziba has slandered me by saying that I refused to come. But I know that my lord the king is like an angel of God, so do what you think is best.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Samuel 19:27

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.
