2 Samuel 19<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

This chapter is the mop up of the previous four chapters. The author deals with the loose ends surrounding David. Joab forces David to return to his kingly duties (1-8). This is a picture of Proverbs 27.6<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0where the faithful wounds of a friend are helpful. This incident will prove to be\u00a0a deciding moment for Joab who has been faithful, but will turn on David\u2019s decisions in 1 Kings. David returns to Jerusalem as king (8-15). David deals mercifully with Shimei\u00a0(16-23). Mephibosheth\u2019s apparent treason as proclaimed by Ziba\u00a0is corrected (24-30). For more on these three men <\/span>see our discussion of 2 Samuel 16<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>. Barzillai, an elderly man from Mahanaim\u00a0(2 Samuel 17.27), the place David stayed during his absence from Jerusalem, was shown\u00a0favor. The man proclaimed himself too old to move to Jerusalem to receive the king\u2019s favor. He asked if David would show favor to another named Chimham, who apparently was his son. David agrees to do so (31-40). A point of interest is that Chimham moves to Jerusalem and David gives to him a plot of land in Bethlehem. <\/span>Jeremiah 41.17<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0speaks of an inn that was established there. Could this be the same inn that would later be too full to house Mary and Joseph? There is then an odd discussion about who should have bestowed honor on David, Israel or Judah (41-43).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
