Context Summary

2 Samuel 19:21-30 - A Day To Forget Injuries
Abishai's reprobation of Shimei's disloyalty was very natural; but at that supreme moment of triumph, David could afford to be magnanimous, and so he accepted Shimei's abject apology and pleading. Evidently there was a growing alienation between the king and the sons of Zeruiah.
Mephibosheth urged that Ziba had shamefully wronged and misrepresented him, taking away the ass on which he had intended to accompany the king into exile, and imputing his laxity to the hope that he might be restored to his grandfather's throne. He pointed to his disordered appearance as evidence of his intense grief. Clearly, however, David was not altogether satisfied and, desiring not to make Ziba his enemy, ruled that the estate should be divided between them. But Mephibosheth professed his willingness for his late servant to own it all. He might well feel repaid and satisfied, now that he had seen David's face once again in peace, Philippians 3:8.
