My bones and my flesh; of the same tribe, and some of you of the same family, with myself; and therefore if I should revenge myself of you, which perhaps you may fear I will do when I have fully regained my power, I should but tear my own flesh in pieces, and hate my own body which nature and interest obligeth every man to preserve.

Wherefore then are ye the last to bring back the king? this delay doth not suit with the relation you have, and the affection you owe to me.

(12) My bones and my flesh.More exactly, bone, as in 2Sa. 19:13 and 2Sa. 5:1. Of course the tribe of Judah, from which David sprung, was more closely connected with him by blood than any other; but the point likely to influence them was that the king recognised this relationship.

2Sa 19:12 Ye [are] my brethren, ye [are] my bones and my flesh: wherefore then are ye the last to bring back the king?

Ver. 12. Ye are my brethren. ] Which only title is sufficient to stint all strife, if well considered.

Ye are my bones and my flesh. ] Now, “no man ever hated his own flesh,” (hurt his own bones), “but nourisheth and cherisheth it.” Eph 5:29 We may likewise promise ourselves all good from Christ our brother, upon this account.
