Now Barzillai the Gileadite had come down from Rogelim to cross the Jordan with the king and send him on his way from there.
David had already graced the triumphs of his restoration with the generous remission of the injuries that had been done to him; we have him here gracing them with a no less generous reward of the kindnesses that had been shown to him.
Commenting on 2 Samuel 19:31-39
And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim,.... The place of his habitation, to Jordan, see Sa2 17:27, and went over Jordan with the king to conduct him over Jordan; to accompany him over the river, and then take his leave of him.
THE ISRAELITES BRING THE KING BACK. (2Sa. 19:9-43) all the people were at strife throughout all the tribes of Israel--The kingdom was completely disorganized. The sentiments of three different parties are represented in Sa2 19:9-10 : the royalists, the adherents of Absalom who had been very numerous, and those who were indifferent to the Davidic dynasty.
