Context of 2 Samuel 19:30

28You could have killed anyone in my entire family, Your Majesty. Instead, you’ve seated me with those who eat at your table. So I no longer have the right to complain to the king.” 29The king asked him, “Why do you keep talking about it? I’ve said that you and Ziba should divide the land.” “Let him take it all,” Mephibosheth told the king. “It’s enough for me that you’ve come home safely.” 31Barzillai, the man from Gilead, came from Rogelim with the king to the Jordan River to send him on his way. 32Barzillai was an elderly man, 80 years old. Because he was a very rich man, he had provided the king with food while he was staying at Mahanaim.

• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 24-3024-30. Mephibosheth ... came down to meet the king--The reception given to Mephibosheth was less creditable to David.

He had neither dressed his feet--not taken the bath, nor trimmed his beard--The Hebrews cut off the hair on the upper lip (see on Le 13:45), and cheeks, but carefully cherished it on the chin from ear to ear. Besides dyeing it black or red colors…Read the comment
