Notes on the Whole Bible
Albert Barnes (1798–1870) · 19th-century historical commentary

It seems that David and his whole party made a halt at Gilgal 2 Samuel 19:15; 1 Samuel 11:14, and possibly made some solemn agreement there about the kingdom. But while they were there, “all the men of Israel,” representatives from the tribes not included in “half the people of Israel” 2 Samuel 19:40, came up in great wrath at finding that the restoration had been accomplished without consulting them, and accused the men of Judah of unfair dealing. return to 'Top of Page' Footnotes: Copyright Statement These files are public domain.
