Summary for 2Sam 19:24-30: 19:24-30  a See 16:1-4  b. 19:24  c Mephibosheth’s inattention to grooming throughout David’s absence from Jerusalem was an act of mourning that proved his loyalty to David. If Mephibosheth had designs on the throne (16:3  d), he would not have retained such an unkempt appearance.
Summary for 2Sam 19:27-28: 19:27-28  e like an angel of God: See study note on 14:17.

• I could expect only death ... What more can I ask? If Mephibosheth had wanted to betray David, it would have been a profound show of ingratitude for all that David had done for him.
19:30  f Mephibosheth’s disinterest in claiming even half of his property showed conclusively that his happiness over David’s return was genuine.
