Theological / Devotional

Return thou. This was a formal invitation from the leaders of Judah asking David to return to take his crown. He was willing to be king only by the consent of the tribes.

He had not sought the kingdom in the first place, and he wished all to understand that he would not now resume his position unless requested to do so by the nation.
