Commentary on Lamentations 3:30

Theological / Devotional

He giveth his cheek. This is a forceful OT statement of the doctrine of turning the other cheek, so impressively taught by Jesus (Matt. 5:39). David’s conduct toward Shimei was an outstanding exemplification of this principle (2 Sam. 16:11, 12).
