Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Come out - Rather, "Go out," namely, of the land, into banishment. Compare Jer 29:16.
Thou bloody man - See the margin. The Lord's word to David Ch1 22:8 was probably known to Shimei and now cast in David's teeth by him, with special reference to the innocent blood of Uriah. |
| Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
| Shimei cursed thus: "Out, out (away, away), thou man of blood, and worthless man! Jehovah hath repaid thee (now) for all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast become king, and hath given the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son. Behold, now thou art in thy misfortune, for thou art a man of blood." דּמים אישׁ, a man of drops of blood, i.e., one who has shed blood or committed murder. What Shimei meant by "all the blood of the house of Saul," which David had shed, and because of which he was a man of blood, it is impossible to determine with certainty. He may possibly have attributed to David the murder of Ishbosheth and Abner, notwithstanding the fact that David was innocent of the death of both (see Sa2 3:27., and Sa2 4:6.). By "in whose stead thou hast reigned," he meant whose throne thou hast forcibly usurped; and by בּרעתך הנּך, "it is for this that punishment hat overtaken thee now." |
8 But the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came to me, saying [0559], Thou hast shed [08210] blood [01818] abundantly [07230], and hast made [06213] great [01419] wars [04421]: thou shalt not build [01129] an house [01004] unto my name [08034], because thou hast shed [08210] much [07227] blood [01818] upon the earth [0776] in my sight [06440].
16 Know that thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of the king [04428] that sitteth [03427] upon the throne [03678] of David [01732], and of all the people [05971] that dwelleth [03427] in this city [05892], and of your brethren [0251] that are not gone forth [03318] with you into captivity [01473];
6 And they came thither [0935] into the midst [08432] of the house [01004], as though they would have fetched [03947] wheat [02406]; and they smote [05221] him under the fifth [02570] rib: and Rechab [07394] and Baanah [01196] his brother [0251] escaped [04422].
