19:25 And it came to pass, when {l} he was come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said unto him, Wherefore wentest not thou with me, Mephibosheth?
(l) When Mephibosheth being at Jerusalem had met the King.
19:25 Jerusalem - Probably he had continued near Jerusalem, because he could not go to meet him, as others did.
19:24-30 David recalls the forfeiture of Mephibosheth's estate; and he expressed joy for the king's return. A good man contentedly bears his own losses, while he sees Israel in peace, and the Son of David exalted.
