2 Samuel 9
David sends for Jonathan's son, Mephibosheth, ver. 1-6.
Restores to him all the land that was Saul's, and appoints him to
eat at his own table, ver. 7-13.
Verse 1. Of Saul - He saith not of the house of Jonathan, for he knew not
of any son he had left, and therefore thought his kindness and
obligation was to pass to the next of his kindred. As for
Mephibosheth, he was very young and obscure, and possibly
concealed by his friends, lest David should cut him off, as hath
been usual among princes.
Verse 5. Machir - This Machir appears to have been a generous man,
who entertained Mephibosheth out of mere compassion, not of
disaffection to David: for afterwards we find him kind to David
himself, when he fled from Absalom. David now little thought,
that the time would come, when he himself should need his
assistance. Let us be forward to give, because we know not what
we ourselves may sometime want.
Verse 8. Bowed himself - It is good to have the heart humbled under
humbling providences. If when divine providence brings our
condition down, divine grace brings our spirits down, we shall be
easy.
