2 Samuel 19:4-6

4 Pero el rey, cubriéndose la cara, seguía gritando a voz en cuello: «¡Ay, Absalón, hijo mío! ¡Ay, Absalón, hijo mío, hijo mío!»
5 Entonces Joab fue adonde estaba el rey y le dijo: «Hoy Su Majestad ha llenado de vergüenza a todos sus siervos que le salvaron la vida, y la de sus hijos e hijas y esposas y concubinas.
6 ¡Usted ama a quienes lo odian, y odia a quienes lo aman! Hoy ha dejado muy en claro que nada le importan sus generales ni sus soldados. Ahora me doy cuenta de que usted preferiría que todos nosotros estuviéramos muertos, con tal de que Absalón siguiera con vida.

2 Samuel 19:4-6 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO SECOND SAMUEL 19

David indulging to too much grief for the death of his son, is rebuked by Joab, and threatened with a revolt of the people from him, if he did not change his conduct, which be accordingly did, 2Sa 19:1-8; upon which the men of Israel were the first that moved for the bringing him back to Jerusalem, and the men of Judah were solicited to join with them in it, which was effected, 2Sa 19:9-15; and at Jordan, Shimei, that had cursed him, met him, and asked his pardon, and was forgiven, 2Sa 19:16-23; and when come to Jerusalem, Mephibosheth excused so well his not going out with him, that he had half his land restored to him, which had been given to his servant, 2Sa 19:24-30; and Barzillai, who had very liberally supplied the king, was allowed to return to his own city, and Chimham his son was taken to court, 2Sa 19:31-40; and a contention arose between the men of Israel and of Judah about the restoration of the king, which issued in an insurrection, as the next chapter shows, 2Sa 19:41-43.
