2 Samuel 19:27

27 He has told you lies about me. King David, you are like an angel of God. So do what pleases you.

2 Samuel 19:27 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 19:27

And he hath slandered thy servant unto my lord the king
By suggesting that he stayed at Jerusalem with a view to the kingdom, hoping that the quarrel between David and Absalom would issue in the restoration of it to his father's family; which was a mere calumny, he having had no such thought, nor was there any foundation for it:

but my lord the king [is] an angel of God;
for understanding and wisdom, to discern the falsehood of such suggestions:

do therefore [what is] good in thine eyes;
condemn him or acquit him; reject him or receive him into favour; he entirely submitted himself to him, to do with him as seemed good in his sight.

2 Samuel 19:27 In-Context

25 He came from Jerusalem to welcome the king. The king asked him, "Mephibosheth, why didn't you go with me?"

26 He said, "You are my king and master. I'm disabled. So I thought, 'I'll have a saddle put on my donkey. I'll ride on it. Then I can go with the king.' But my servant Ziba turned against me.

27 He has told you lies about me. King David, you are like an angel of God. So do what pleases you.

28 You should have put all of the members of my grandfather's family to death, including me. Instead, you always provided what I needed. So what right do I have to make any more appeals to you?"

29 The king said to him, "You don't have to say anything else. I order you and Ziba to divide up Saul's fields between you."
