2 Samuel 16:3 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 16:3

And the king said, and where [is] thy master's son?
&c.] The son of Saul, who was Ziba's master, meaning Mephibosheth:

and Ziba said unto the king, behold, he abideth at Jerusalem;
as there was reason for it, since he was lame of both his feet, ( 2 Samuel 9:13 ) , though he could have rode upon an ass, and followed the king, as he proposed to do; but his servant deceived him, and carried off the asses to serve a purpose for himself, see ( 2 Samuel 19:26 ) ;

for he said, today shall the house of Israel restore unto me the
kingdom of my father;
his father Saul; which was far from his thoughts; and a most wicked suggestion of his servant to blacken his character, and get his estate from him; nor was there the least probability of the kingdom coming to him, but all the reverse; for let it go how it would with David, Absalom, and not Mephibosheth, stood fair for the kingdom.

2 Y el rey dijo a Siba: ¿Para qué tienes esto? Y Siba respondió: Los asnos son para que la familia del rey monte, y el pan y la fruta de verano para que los jóvenes coman, y el vino para que beba cualquiera que se fatigue en el desierto.
3 Entonces el rey dijo: ¿Y dónde está el hijo de tu señor? Y Siba respondió al rey: He aquí, está en Jerusalén, pues ha dicho: "Hoy la casa de Israel me devolverá el reino de mi padre."
4 Y el rey dijo a Siba: He aquí, todo lo que pertenece a Mefiboset es tuyo. Y Siba dijo: Me inclino; que halle yo gracia ante tus ojos, oh rey, mi señor.
5 Al llegar el rey David a Bahurim, he aquí, salió de allí un hombre de la familia de la casa de Saúl que se llamaba Simei, hijo de Gera. Cuando salió, iba maldiciendo;
