SEV Biblia, Chapter 18:4
Entonces el rey les dijo: Yo haré lo que a vosotros pareciere bien. Y se puso el rey a la entrada de la puerta, mientras salía todo el pueblo de ciento en ciento y de mil en mil.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 4. And the king said unto them, what seemeth you best I will do , etc.] Which was an instance of great condescension in him; and it was his wisdom and prudence to yield to them at such a time as this, and especially as their sentiments were founded on affection and loyalty to him: and the king stood by the gate side ; of the city of Mahanaim: and all the people came out by hundreds, and by thousands ; and passed by him, to whom no doubt he gave his blessing and best wishes; and, as Abarbinel thinks, now it was he composed and said the twentieth psalm, “The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble”, etc. ( Psalm 20:1-9).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-8 - How does David render good for evil! Absalom would have only Davi smitten; David would have only Absalom spared. This seems to be resemblance of man's wickedness towards God, and God's mercy to man, of which it is hard to say which is most amazing. Now the Israelites se what it is to take counsel against the Lord and his anointed.
