2 Samuel 19:4-7
covered <03813> [covered.]
son ..... son ... son <01121> [O my son.]
It is allowed by competent critics that the lamentation of David over his son, of which this forms a part, is exceedingly pathetic; and Calmet properly remarks, that the frequent repetition of the name of the deceased is common in the language of lamentation.
embarrassed <03001> [Thou hast.]
Every one must admit that David's immoderate grief for his rebellious son was imprudent, and that Joab's firm and sensible reproof was necessary to arouse him to a sense of his duty to his people: but, in his manner, Joab far exceeded the bounds of that reverence which a servant owes to his master, or a subject to his prince.
saved <04422> [saved.]
love ....... friends <0157> [In that, etc. Heb. By loving, etc. thou regardest, etc.]
Heb. princes or servants are not to thee. then it had.
encouragement .... servants <03820 05650> [comfortably unto thy. Heb. to the heart of thy.]
stay <03885> [there.]
