2 Samuel - 19:12 Meaning
“Ye are my brethren, ye are my bones and my flesh: wherefore then are ye the last to bring back the king?”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
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, Ps 110:2,3.
“He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.”
