2 Samuele 19:9 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 19:9

And all the people were at strife through all the tribes of
Israel
Excepting the tribe of Judah; they blamed and reproved one another for taking part with Absalom in the rebellion, and especially for their coldness and backwardness in bringing back David to Jerusalem:

saying, the king saved us out of the hand of our enemies;
exposed his life to danger, fought our battles for us, and gained us victory over our enemies, and saved us from them, especially those next mentioned:

and he delivered us out of the hand of the Philistines;
in the times of Saul, and since; which were benefits which ought to have endeared him to them, and were aggravations of the crime of those who had been concerned in the late rebellion; and were such as ought not to be buried in oblivion, and were proper arguments to engage them to return to their allegiance to him, and abide by it:

and now he is fled out of the land for Absalom;
being obliged to quit Jerusalem, and the land of Judea on this side Jordan, and to pass that river; not from a spirit of cowardice, but from tenderness to his son, he did not choose to fight against; and from a concern for his metropolis Jerusalem, lest that should be hurt, as well as for the safety of his person.

2 Samuele 19:9 In-Context

7 Or dunque lèvati, esci, e parla al cuore della tua gente; perché io giuro per l’Eterno che, se non esci, neppure un uomo resterà con te questa notte; e questa sarà per te sventura maggiore di tutte quelle che ti son cadute addosso dalla tua giovinezza fino a oggi".
8 Allora il re si levò e si pose a sedere alla porta; e ne fu dato l’annunzio a tutto il popolo, dicendo: "Ecco il re sta assiso alla porta". E tutto il popolo venne in presenza del re. Or quei d’Israele se n’eran fuggiti, ognuno nella sua tenda;
9 e in tutte le tribù d’Israele tutto il popolo stava discutendo, e dicevano: "Il re ci ha liberati dalle mani dei nostri nemici e ci ha salvati dalle mani de’ Filistei; e ora ha dovuto fuggire dal paese a cagione di Absalom;
10 e Absalom, che noi avevamo unto perché regnasse su noi, è morto in battaglia; perché dunque non parlate di far tornare il re?"
11 E il re Davide mandò a dire ai sacerdoti Tsadok ed Abiathar: "Parlate agli anziani di Giuda, e dite loro: Perché sareste voi ultimi a ricondurre il re a casa sua? I discorsi che si tengono in tutto Israele sono giunti fino alla casa del re.
