Davi e Ziba

2 Samuel 16:1 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 16:1

And when David was a little past the top [of the hill]
Of the mount of Olives, the ascent of which he is said to go up by, and to come to the top of it, ( 2 Samuel 15:30 2 Samuel 15:32 ) ;

behold, Ziba, the servant of Mephibosheth, met him;
of whom see ( 2 Samuel 9:2 ) ;

with a couple of asses saddled:
and so fit to ride on, but for the present he used them to another purpose:

and upon them two hundred [loaves] of bread;
an hundred on each ass very probably:

and an hundred bunches of raisins;
or dried grapes, as the Targum: and an hundred of summer fruits:
not in number, but in weight, as apples, pears, plums, apricots so the Targum, an hundred pounds of figs: and a bottle of wine:
a cask or flagon of wine; for a bottle, such as is in use with us, would have signified nothing in such a company.

2 Samuel 16:1 In-Context

1 Mal Davi tinha passado pelo alto do monte, lá estava à sua espera Ziba, criado de Mefibosete. Ele trazia dois jumentos carregando duzentos pães, cem bolos de uvas passas, cem frutas da estação e uma vasilha de couro cheia de vinho.
2 O rei perguntou a Ziba: “Por que você trouxe essas coisas?”Ziba respondeu: “Os jumentos servirão de montaria para a família do rei, os pães e as frutas são para os homens comerem, e o vinho servirá para reanimar os que ficarem exaustos no deserto”.
3 “Onde está Mefibosete, neto de seu senhor?”, perguntou o rei.Respondeu-lhe Ziba: “Ele ficou em Jerusalém, pois acredita que os israelitas lhe restituirão o reino de seu avô”.
4 Então o rei disse a Ziba: “Tudo o que pertencia a Mefibosete agora é seu”.“Humildemente me prostro”, disse Ziba. “Que o rei, meu senhor, agrade-se de mim”.
5 Chegando o rei Davi a Baurim, um homem do clã da família de Saul chamado Simei, filho de Gera, saiu da cidade proferindo maldições contra ele.
