Wesley's Notes

19:14 He bowed - David by this prudent and kind message and his free offer of pardon.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

14. he bowed the heart of all the men of Judah-that is, Amasa, who had been won over, used his great influence in re-attaching the whole tribe of Judah to the interest of David.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

19:9-15 God's providence, by the priests' persuasions and Amasa's interest, brought the people to resolve the recall of the king. David stirred not till he received this invitation. Our Lord Jesus will rule in those that invite him to the throne in their hearts, and not till he is invited. He first bows the heart, and makes it willing in the day of his power, then rules in the midst of his enemies, Ps 110:2,3.


Judges 20:1 Then all the sons of Israel from Dan to Beersheba, including the land of Gilead, came out, and the congregation assembled as one man to the LORD at Mizpah. (NASB ©1995)
