2 Samuel 19:17 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 19:17

And there were a thousand men of Benjamin with him
Of which tribe he was, and these were either a band of soldiers, of which he was the chiliarch; or tenants of his, which showed him to be a great man; or his neighbours, and persons of some figure, whom he prevailed upon to come as intercessors for him:

and Ziba the servant of the house of Saul;
who had imposed upon David, and got his master's inheritance from him, knowing that David would be undeceived by Mephibosheth his master, when he came to Jerusalem; and therefore that he might be more tenderly dealt with, and come off the better, he was thus forward to meet the king, and pay his respects to him:

and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him:
which made a considerable appearance; see ( 2 Samuel 9:10 ) ;

and they went over Jordan before the king:
to meet him on the other side, both Shimei and his a thousand men, and Ziba with his sons and servants.

2 Samuel 19:17 In-Context

15 de modo que el rey emprendió el viaje y llegó hasta el Jordán. Los de Judá se dirigieron entonces a Guilgal para encontrarse con el rey y acompañarlo a cruzar el río.
16 Pero el benjaminita Simí hijo de Guerá, oriundo de Bajurín, se apresuró a bajar con los de Judá para recibir al rey David.
17 Con él iban mil benjaminitas, e incluso Siba, que había sido administrador de la familia de Saúl, con sus quince hijos y veinte criados. Estos llegaron al Jordán antes que el rey
18 y vadearon el río para ponerse a las órdenes del rey y ayudar a la familia real a cruzar el Jordán. Cuando el rey estaba por cruzarlo, Simí hijo de Guerá se inclinó ante él
19 y le dijo:—Ruego a mi señor el rey que no tome en cuenta mi delito ni recuerde el mal que hizo este servidor suyo el día en que Su Majestad salió de Jerusalén. Le ruego a Su Majestad que olvide eso.
