SEV Biblia, Chapter 19:14
Así inclinó el corazón de todos los varones de Judá, como el de un varón, para que enviasen a decir al rey: Vuelve tú, y todos tus siervos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 19:14
Verse 14. And he bowed the heart of all the men of Judah] The measures that he pursued were the best calculated that could be to accomplish this salutary end. Appear to distrust those whom you have some reason to suspect, and you increase their caution and distrust. Put as much confidence in them as you safely can, and this will not fail to excite their confidence towards you.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 14. And he bowed the heart of all the men of Judah, even as [the heart of] one man , etc.] This the Jewish commentators generally understand of Amasa that he used his interest with the men of Judah, and so wrought upon them, that they agreed as one man to send for the king, and bring him back; but it seems best to understand it of David, who by these gentle methods, kind messages, and affectionate speeches, powerfully inclined and engaged the hearts of the people towards him; so that they were unanimously and affectionately agreed to restore him: in this way David chose to return; he could have come without their leave, or any invitation from them, as he was their lawful king, and a victorious one, the rebellion being crushed; and had it in his power to chastise those concerned in it, and use them with severity; but he chose rather to gain the hearts of his people, and to come in a way peaceable to them, and honourable to himself: so that they sent [this word] unto the king, return thou and all thy servants ; perhaps by the same messengers that David sent; or it may be, rather for honour’s sake they deputed some of their principal men to wait on David, and invite him to return to them with all his retinue and army, promising allegiance and fidelity to him.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 9-15 - God's providence, by the priests' persuasions and Amasa's interest brought the people to resolve the recall of the king. David stirred no till he received this invitation. Our Lord Jesus will rule in thos that invite him to the throne in their hearts, and not till he is invited. He first bows the heart, and makes it willing in the day of his power, then rules in the midst of his enemies, Ps 110:2, 3.
