2 SAMUEL 19:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And all the people were at strife throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, The king saved us out of the hand of our enemies, and he delivered us out of the hand of the Philistines; and now he is fled out of the land for Absalom.”
Now all the people were at odds with one another, saying, The king delivered us from the hand of our enemies and saved us from the hand of the Philistines — and now he has fled out of the land because of Absalom — Debate emerges about David's restoration. Some argue that David saved Israel from enemies and the Philistines; others note that he fled because of Absalom. The dispute reflects uncertainty about David's fitness to rule.
