{pages 556 - 560}
And he hath slandered thy servant unto my lord the king; but my lord the king is as an angel of God: do therefore what is good in thine eyes. (2 Samuel 19:27)
slandered - H7270 - A primitive root; to walk along; but only in specific applications, to reconnoitre, to be a tale bearer (that is, slander); also (as denominative from H7272) to lead about.
Used 25 times - by Joseph calling his brothers spies, Moses sent Jaazer to spy out the land, of the twelve men who searched out the land, Joshua sent two to spy out Jericho, those who went out to view Ai, Caleb uses of his espying out the land, used of the tribe of Dan to spy out, David sent spies to see about Saul, used of David's ambassadors to Hanun, Absalom sent out spies, and used in Psalms of a backbiter.
Though Ziba slandered Mephibosheth, his response:
And Mephibosheth said unto the king, Yea, let him take all, forasmuch as my lord the king is come again in peace unto his own house. (2 Samuel 19:30)
I can not remember where I read it, but thought it interesting that Mephibosheth was willing to take the loss, apparently showing forgiveness. I have browsed a few articles, one was quite staunch in stating that Mephibosheth was not mislead by Ziba, nor slandered. Both sides of the aisle are represented in the small selection I browsed.
Aha...I found a site which has all the commentaries together...Bible Study Tools, for those who may want to explore a bit further. :-) This did not offer K&D or JFB, but had Gill and Henry.
2 Samuel 19:43, the last portion and Gill's commentary:
and the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel; not those that are here recorded, but what followed, and are not written, being so very warm and indecent; and David being silent in this hot dispute between them, which was interpreted taking the part of Judah, the men of Israel were incensed at it; and hence arose a new rebellion, of which more in the next chapter how it began, and was crushed.
2 Samuel 20:3, the last portion and Gill's commentary:
living in widowhood; neither used by the king as his concubines, as they had been before, nor suffered to many any other; or "in the widowhood of life" (o), which is so expressed, to distinguish it from widowhood made by death; this was such sort of widowhood as obtained while their husband was living; so the Targum,"widows of their husband alive,'' or remaining.
Thinking of widows makes me glad that Father cares for them and orphans. He is always timely and provides what is needed for every season of life.
