SEV Biblia, Chapter 19:29

Y el rey le dijo: ¿Para qué hablas más palabras? Yo he determinado que tú y Siba partáis las tierras.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 19:29

Verse 29. I have said, Thou and Ziba divide the land.] At first,
David gave the land of Saul to Mephibosheth; and Ziba, his sons, and his servants, were to work that land; and to Mephibosheth, as the lord, he was to give the half of the produce. Ziba met David in his distress with provisions, and calumniated Mephibosheth: David, too slightly trusting to his misrepresentation, and supposing that Mephibosheth was actually such a traitor as Ziba represented him, made him on the spot a grant of his master's land. Now he finds that he has acted too rashly, and therefore confirms the former grant; i.e. that Ziba should cultivate the ground, and still continue to give to Mephibosheth, as the lord, the half of the produce.

This was merely placing things in statu quo, and utterly annulling the gift that he had made to Ziba. But why did he leave this treacherous man any thing? Answer, 1. He was one of the domestics of Saul, and David wished to show kindness to that house. 2. He had supplied him with the necessaries of life when he was in the greatest distress; and he thinks proper to continue him in his old office, by way of remuneration. But it was certainly too great a compensation for his services, however then important, when all the circumstances are considered.


John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 29. And the king said unto him, why speakest thou any more of thy matters ? etc.] Of his father’s family, and the injuries done by them to David, and of the benefits and favours which he had received from David, or of his temporal affairs, of his estate, which David had given away to Ziba: I have said, thou and Ziba divide the land ; revoking his last grant to Ziba, which gave him all that belonged to Mephibosheth, ( 2 Samuel 16:4); he established his first decree, that Ziba should have half the profit of the land for tilling it, and the other half be given to Mephibosheth; he did not choose to punish Ziba for slandering his master, being inclined to clemency and mercy, and determined to show no severity at that time; and might be in some fear of Ziba, being a considerable man, lest he should raise a new insurrection, if he bore hard upon him; besides, he might have a large share in his affection, having made a present to him in the time of his distress, and was one of the first that came to meet him upon his return, ( Samuel 19:17 16:1,2).

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 24-30 -
David recalls the forfeiture of Mephibosheth's estate; and he expresse joy for the king's return. A good man contentedly bears his own losses while he sees Israel in peace, and the Son of David exalted.
