27 He has given you a false account of me: but my lord the king is like the angel of God: do then whatever seems good to 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 Now when he had come from Jerusalem to see the king, the king said to him, Why did you not come with me, Mephibosheth?

26 And he said in answer, Because of the deceit of my servant, my lord king: for I, your servant, said to him, You are to make ready an ass and on it I will go with the king, for your servant has not the use of his feet.

27 He has given you a false account of me: but my lord the king is like the angel of God: do then whatever seems good to you.

28 For all my father's family were only dead men before my lord the king: and still you put your servant among those whose place is at the king's table. What right then have I to say anything more to the king?

29 And the king said, Say nothing more about these things. I say, Let there be a division of the land between Ziba and you.
