George Haydock's Catholic Commentary

2 Samuel 19:11

Priests, whose influence was very great. (Haydock) --- Last. David, like an able politician, shews the men of his own tribe, how dishonourable it will be for them to be outdone by the rest. (Calmet) --- Talk: reported by a solemn ceremony. (St. Jerome, Trad.) (Menochius) --- Septuagint Greek: logos, "the word, (Haydock) council," &c. (Salien)
