‏ 2 Samuel 19:18-23

Verse 18. There went over a ferry-boat] This is the first mention of any thing of the kind. Some think a bridge or raft is what is here intended.

Verse 20. For thy servant doth know that I have sinned] This was all he could do; his subsequent conduct alone could prove his sincerity. On such an avowal as this David could not but grant him his life.
