2 Samuel 19:25 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 19:25

And it came to pass, when he came to Jerusalem to meet the
king
Perhaps from the place where his estate was; or, as the Arabic version, when he came from Jerusalem, from whence he went a little way to meet the king, as he was coming thither; for it was said he abode at Jerusalem, ( 2 Samuel 16:3 ) ;

that the king said unto him, wherefore wentest not thou with me,
Mephibosheth?
when he departed from Jerusalem, being obliged to flee from thence because of Absalom; it is very probable David would never have asked him this question, knowing his lameness, had it not been for the suggestion of Ziba his servant, that he stayed at Jerusalem, hoping that the kingdom of his father would be restored to him, ( 2 Samuel 16:3 ) .

2 Samuel 19:25 In-Context

23 Entonces, volviéndose a Simei, David juró:
—Se te perdonará la vida.

24 Bondad de David hacia Mefiboset
Ahora bien, Mefiboset,
el nieto de Saúl, descendió de Jerusalén para encontrarse con el rey. No había cuidado sus pies, cortado su barba ni lavado su ropa desde el día en que el rey dejó Jerusalén.

25 —¿Por qué no viniste conmigo, Mefiboset? —le preguntó el rey.

26 Mefiboset contestó:
—Mi señor el rey, mi siervo Siba me engañó. Le dije: “Ensilla mi burro
para que pueda ir con el rey”. Pues como usted sabe, soy lisiado.

27 Siba me calumnió cuando dijo que me negué a venir. Pero sé que mi señor el rey es como un ángel de Dios, así que haga como mejor le parezca.
