2 Samuel 16:12

Listen to 2 Samuel 16:12
12 A lo mejor el SEÑOR toma en cuenta mi aflicción y me paga con bendiciones las maldiciones que estoy recibiendo.

2 Samuel 16:12 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 16:12

It may be that the Lord will look on mine affliction
Through the rebellion of his son, and now aggravated by the cursing of Shimei; that is, with an eye of pity and commiseration, and deliver him out of it: or "look upon my eye" F24; for there is a various reading; the tear of mine eye, as the Targum; so Jarchi and R. Isaiah; the tears in it, which fell plentifully from it, on account of his troubles, and particularly the curses and reproaches of Shimei:

and that the Lord will requite me good for his cursing this day;
he does not speak with assurance, yet with hope; he knew his sins deserved such treatment, but also that God was gracious and merciful, and pitied his children, and resented all ill usage of them; and therefore hoped he would favour him with such intimations of his love as would support him, comfort, refresh him, and do him good, see ( Romans 8:28 ) .

2 Samuel 16:12 In-Context

10 Pero el rey respondió:—Esto no es asunto mío ni de ustedes, hijos de Sarvia. A lo mejor el SEÑOR le ha ordenado que me maldiga. Y si es así, ¿quién se lo puede reclamar?
11 Dirigiéndose a Abisay y a todos sus oficiales, David añadió:—Si el hijo de mis entrañas intenta quitarme la vida, ¡qué no puedo esperar de este benjaminita! Déjenlo que me maldiga, pues el SEÑOR se lo ha mandado.
12 A lo mejor el SEÑOR toma en cuenta mi aflicción y me paga con bendiciones las maldiciones que estoy recibiendo.
13 David y sus hombres reanudaron el viaje. Simí, por su parte, los seguía por la ladera del monte, maldiciendo a David, tirándole piedras y levantando polvo.
14 El rey y quienes lo acompañaban llegaron agotados a su destino, así que descansaron allí.
