But if He should say, ‘I do not delight in you,’ then here I am; let Him do to me whatever seems good to Him.”
Here we have, I. The fidelity of the priests and Levites and their firm adherence to David and his interest. They knew David's great affection to them and their office, notwithstanding his failings. The method Absalom took to gain people's affections made no impression upon them; he had little religion in him, and therefore they steadily adhered to David.
Commenting on 2 Samuel 15:24-30
But if he thus say, I have no delight in thee,.... As a king, or in his temporal prosperity, though he might and had delight in him as a chosen vessel of salvation, as a saint and child of God, and in his spiritual and everlasting welfare: behold, here am I; his humble servant, ready to be, and do and suffer whatever is his pleasure...
But if he thus say, I have no delight in thee; behold, [here am] I, let him do to me as seemeth good unto him. (r) The faithful in all their afflictions show themselves obedient to God's will.
