2 Samuel 16:3 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 16:3

And the king said, and where [is] thy master's son?
&c.] The son of Saul, who was Ziba's master, meaning Mephibosheth:

and Ziba said unto the king, behold, he abideth at Jerusalem;
as there was reason for it, since he was lame of both his feet, ( 2 Samuel 9:13 ) , though he could have rode upon an ass, and followed the king, as he proposed to do; but his servant deceived him, and carried off the asses to serve a purpose for himself, see ( 2 Samuel 19:26 ) ;

for he said, today shall the house of Israel restore unto me the
kingdom of my father;
his father Saul; which was far from his thoughts; and a most wicked suggestion of his servant to blacken his character, and get his estate from him; nor was there the least probability of the kingdom coming to him, but all the reverse; for let it go how it would with David, Absalom, and not Mephibosheth, stood fair for the kingdom.

3 Entonces el rey le preguntó:—¿Dónde está el nieto de tu amo?—Se quedó en Jerusalén —respondió Siba—. Él se imagina que ahora la nación de Israel le va a devolver el reino de su abuelo.
4 —Bueno —replicó el rey—, todo lo que antes fue de Mefiboset ahora es tuyo.—¡A sus pies, mi señor y rey! —exclamó Siba—. ¡Que cuente yo siempre con el favor de Su Majestad!
5 Cuando el rey David llegó a Bajurín, salía de allí un hombre de la familia de Saúl, llamado Simí hijo de Guerá. Este se puso a maldecir,
