King James Translators' Notes

victory: Heb. salvation, or, deliverance

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

19:1-8 To continue to lament for so bad a son as Absalom, was very unwise, and very unworthy. Joab censures David, but not with proper respect and deference to his sovereign. A plain case may be fairly pleaded with those above us, and they may be reproved for what they do amiss, but it must not be with rudeness and insolence. Yet David took the reproof and the counsel, prudently and mildly. Timely giving way, usually prevents the ill effects of mistaken measures.


2 Samuel 19:1 Then it was told Joab, "Behold, the king is weeping and mourns for Absalom."
2 Samuel 19:3 So the people went by stealth into the city that day, as people who are humiliated steal away when they flee in battle. (NASB ©1995)
