2 Samuel 15:26

26 But if he is through with me, then let him do what seems best to 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 Zadok and all the Levites also came along, carrying the Ark of the Covenant of God. They set down the Ark of God, and Abiathar offered sacrifices until everyone had passed out of the city.

25 Then the king instructed Zadok to take the Ark of God back into the city. “If the LORD sees fit,” David said, “he will bring me back to see the Ark and the Tabernacle again.

26 But if he is through with me, then let him do what seems best to him.”

27 The king also told Zadok the priest, “Look, here is my plan. You and Abiathar should return quietly to the city with your son Ahimaaz and Abiathar’s son Jonathan.

28 I will stop at the shallows of the Jordan River and wait there for a report from you.”
