26 But if he should say, I have no delight in thee; behold, here I am, let him do to me as seems good unto him.

2 Samuel 15:26 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 15:26

But if he thus say, I have no delight in thee
As a king, or in his temporal prosperity, though he might and had delight in him as a chosen vessel of salvation, as a saint and child of God, and in his spiritual and everlasting welfare:

behold, [here am] I;
his humble servant, ready to be, and do and suffer whatever is his pleasure:

let him do to me as seemeth good unto him;
strip me of all the ensigns of royalty, dispossess me of my crown and kingdom, and dispose of me as seems good in his sight; who is a sovereign Being, and has a right to do with his creatures what he pleases.

2 Samuel 15:26 In-Context

24 And behold Zadok also and with him all the Levites who bore the ark of the covenant of God, and they set down the ark of God. And Abiathar went up after all the people had finished leaving the city.

25 But the king said unto Zadok, Carry back the ark of God into the city; if I shall find grace in the eyes of the LORD, he will bring me again and show me both it and his tabernacle.

26 But if he should say, I have no delight in thee; behold, here I am, let him do to me as seems good unto him.

27 The king said also unto Zadok, the priest, Art not thou a seer? Return into the city in peace and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz, thy son, and Jonathan, the son of Abiathar.

28 See, I will tarry in the plain of the wilderness until you send word to me.
