And he hath slandered thy servant unto my lord the king,…. By suggesting that he stayed at Jerusalem with a view to the kingdom, hoping that the quarrel between David and Absalom would issue in the restoration of it to his father’s family; which was a mere calumny, he having had no such thought, nor was there any foundation for it:
but my lord the king [is] an angel of God; for understanding and wisdom, to discern the falsehood of such suggestions:
do therefore [what is] good in thine eyes; condemn him or acquit him; reject him or receive him into favour; he entirely submitted himself to him, to do with him as seemed good in his sight.

Ver. 27. And he hath slandered thy servant. ] Traduxit, detulit per criminationem falsam. The slanderer’s tonic, as sharp as the quills of a porcupine, woundeth the good name of another; this is an unexpressible injury; for, Postea nullus eris. afterward you will be nothing.
