2 Samuel 19:14

2 Samuel 19:14 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 19:14

And he bowed the heart of all the men of Judah, even as [the
heart of] one man
This the Jewish commentators generally understand of Amasa that he used his interest with the men of Judah, and so wrought upon them, that they agreed as one man to send for the king, and bring him back; but it seems best to understand it of David, who by these gentle methods, kind messages, and affectionate speeches, powerfully inclined and engaged the hearts of the people towards him; so that they were unanimously and affectionately agreed to restore him: in this way David chose to return; he could have come without their leave, or any invitation from them, as he was their lawful king, and a victorious one, the rebellion being crushed; and had it in his power to chastise those concerned in it, and use them with severity; but he chose rather to gain the hearts of his people, and to come in a way peaceable to them, and honourable to himself:

so that they sent [this word] unto the king, return thou and all thy
servants;
perhaps by the same messengers that David sent; or it may be, rather for honour's sake they deputed some of their principal men to wait on David, and invite him to return to them with all his retinue and army, promising allegiance and fidelity to him.

2 Samuel 19:14 In-Context

12 ¡Ustedes son mis parientes, mi propia tribu, mi misma sangre! ¿Por qué son los últimos en dar la bienvenida al rey?».

13 Además David les pidió que le dijeran a Amasa: «Como eres de mi misma sangre, al igual que Joab, que Dios me castigue y aun me mate si no te nombro comandante de mi ejército en su lugar».

14 Así que Amasa
convenció a todos los hombres de Judá, y ellos respondieron unánimemente. Y le mandaron a decir al rey: «Regrese a nosotros, y traiga de vuelta a todos los que lo acompañan».

15 David regresa a Jerusalén
Así que el rey emprendió su regreso a Jerusalén. Cuando llegó al río Jordán, la gente de Judá fue hasta Gilgal para encontrarse con él y escoltarlo hasta el otro lado del río.

16 Simei, hijo de Gera, el hombre de Bahurim de Benjamín, se apresuró a cruzar junto con los hombres de Judá para darle la bienvenida al rey David.
