14 He won over the hearts of the men of Judah so that they were all of one mind. They sent word to the king, "Return, you and all your men."
14 And he bowed the heart of all the men of Judah, even as the heart of one man; so that they sent this word unto the king, Return thou, and all thy servants.
14 And he swayed the heart of all the men of Judah as one man, so that they sent word to the king, "Return, both you and all your servants."
14 He captured the hearts of everyone in Judah. They were unanimous in sending for the king: "Come back, you and all your servants."
14 So he swayed the hearts of all the men of Judah, just as the heart of one man, so that they sent this word to the king: "Return, you and all your servants!"
14 Then Amasa convinced all the men of Judah, and they responded unanimously. They sent word to the king, "Return to us, and bring back all who are with you."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Samuel 19:14
Commentary on 2 Samuel 19:9-15
(Read 2 Samuel 19:9-15)
God's providence, by the priests' persuasions and Amasa's interest, brought the people to resolve the recall of the king. David stirred not till he received this invitation. Our Lord Jesus will rule in those that invite him to the throne in their hearts, and not till he is invited. He first bows the heart, and makes it willing in the day of his power, then rules in the midst of his enemies, Psalm 110:2,3.
