do us.
thy lord's.
escape us.
Heb. deliver himself from our eyes.
 {v.6-8} Perhaps David was impatient, for Amasa was not a traitor and had already come to Gibeon, not far from Jerusalem, when the company led by Abishai and the mighty men went out of the capital (2 Sam. 20:8). The fact is that through fear of the evil that Sheba might do David once again falls into Joab's hands through Abishai's instrumentality. Could not David have inquired of the Lord at this renewing of his reign? (Conflict Between Brothers: 2 Samuel 19:41-20:26 by H.L. Rossier)
