Commentary on 2 Samuel 18:4

Theological / Devotional

What seemeth you best. In this instance the counsel of the army was better than the will of the king, and David recognized it as such. Instead of rashly insisting that he join his men in the conflict, he bowed to their wishes and expressed his willingness to comply with their purpose. David may actually have been happy to remain behind, because it would not have been easy for him to direct this battle in person against his son.
