Commentary on 2 Samuel 19:26

Theological / Devotional

Deceived me. Mephibosheth claimed that for purposes of personal gain, Ziba had told David a base falsehood, thus causing David to regard as ungrateful and disloyal his erstwhile faithful servant (ch. 16:1-4). According to the new version of the incident the two asses Ziba brought to David had actually been prepared at Mephibosheth’s orders, so that he could take his flight with David. Instead they had been stolen by Ziba, who left Mephibosheth at home, helpless in his lameness.
