2 Samuel 19:39 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 19:39

And all the people went over Jordan
That were with David:

and when the king was come over;
over Jordan, had got to the other side of it, whither Barzillai accompanied him:

the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him;
took his leave of him with a kiss, as friends were wont to do at parting, thanked him for all his favours, wished him well, and prayed to God to bless him with all blessings temporal and spiritual:

and he returned to his own place:
his own city Rogelim, having crossed over again the river Jordan.

2 Samuel 19:39 In-Context

37 sed obsecro ut revertar servus tuus et moriar in civitate mea iuxta sepulchrum patris mei et matris meae est autem servus tuus Chamaam ipse vadat tecum domine mi rex et fac ei quod tibi bonum videtur

38 dixitque rex mecum transeat Chamaam et ego faciam ei quicquid tibi placuerit et omne quod petieris a me inpetrabis

39 cumque transisset universus populus et rex Iordanem osculatus est rex Berzellai et benedixit ei et ille reversus est in locum suum

40 transivit ergo rex in Galgalam et Chamaam cum eo omnis autem populus Iuda transduxerat regem et media tantum pars adfuerat de populo Israhel

41 itaque omnes viri Israhel concurrentes ad regem dixerunt ei quare te furati sunt fratres nostri viri Iuda et transduxerunt regem et domum eius Iordanem omnesque viros David cum eo
