2 Samuel 16:12

Listen to 2 Samuel 16:12
12 Quizá el SEÑOR mire mi aflicción y me devuelva bien por su maldición de hoy.

2 Samuel 16:12 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 16:12

It may be that the Lord will look on mine affliction
Through the rebellion of his son, and now aggravated by the cursing of Shimei; that is, with an eye of pity and commiseration, and deliver him out of it: or "look upon my eye" F24; for there is a various reading; the tear of mine eye, as the Targum; so Jarchi and R. Isaiah; the tears in it, which fell plentifully from it, on account of his troubles, and particularly the curses and reproaches of Shimei:

and that the Lord will requite me good for his cursing this day;
he does not speak with assurance, yet with hope; he knew his sins deserved such treatment, but also that God was gracious and merciful, and pitied his children, and resented all ill usage of them; and therefore hoped he would favour him with such intimations of his love as would support him, comfort, refresh him, and do him good, see ( Romans 8:28 ) .

2 Samuel 16:12 In-Context

10 Pero el rey dijo: ¿Qué tengo yo que ver con vosotros, hijos de Sarvia? Si él maldice, y si el SEÑOR le ha dicho: "Maldice a David", ¿quién, pues, le dirá: "¿Por qué has hecho esto?"
11 Y David dijo a Abisai y a todos sus siervos: He aquí, mi hijo que salió de mis entrañas busca mi vida; ¿cuánto más entonces este benjamita? Dejadlo, que siga maldiciendo, porque el SEÑOR se lo ha dicho.
12 Quizá el SEÑOR mire mi aflicción y me devuelva bien por su maldición de hoy.
13 Así pues, David y sus hombres siguieron su camino; y Simei iba por el lado del monte paralelo a él, y mientras iba lo maldecía, le tiraba piedras y le arrojaba polvo.
14 Y el rey y todo el pueblo que iba con él llegaron al Jordán fatigados, y allí descansaron.
