2 Samuel - 19:26 Meaning

“And he answered, My lord, O king, my servant deceived me: for thy servant said, I will saddle me an ass, that I may ride thereon, and go to the king; because thy servant is lame.”

King James Version (KJV)

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

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.

“He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.”
