2 Samuel 16:1
繁體中文
英文原文
A couple of donkeys saddled - Those that Mephibosheth and his servant should have ridden. See 2 Samuel 19:26 note.

2 Samuel 16:3
繁體中文
「你主人的兒子」——意即掃羅的孫子（2 Samuel 9:6）。大衛發出這問話，顯然是因米非波設表面上的忘恩負義而感到痛心。米非波設是否全然無辜，則無從斷言。如果詩篇第一百一十六篇（Psalm 116）乃是大衛在平定押沙龍叛亂之後所作，那麼 2 Samuel 16:11 或許就包含着大衛的認罪，承認他當時在這事上作了倉促的判斷（2 Samuel 16:4）。
英文原文
Thy master's son - Meaning Saul's grandson 2 Samuel 9:6. David asks the question, evidently hurt at the apparent ingratitude of Mephibosheth. It is impossible to say whether Mephibosheth was quite guiltless or not. If Psalm 116 was composed by David, and after the quelling of Absalom's rebellion, 2 Samuel 16:11 may contain David's confession of his present hasty judgment 2 Samuel 16:4 in the matter.

2 Samuel 16:5
繁體中文
「巴戶琳」——見 2 Samuel 3:16 的註釋。這地方似乎位於大路一旁的山脊上（2 Samuel 16:13），與大路之間隔着一道狹窄的溝谷，因此示每雖在聽得見的範圍內，也在投石可及的距離內（2 Samuel 16:6；2 Samuel 16:9），卻不易被人追及。
「基拉的兒子示每」——在詩篇第七篇的標題中，他顯然被稱為「便雅憫人古實」。關於基拉，見 Judges 3:15 的註釋。
英文原文
Bahurim - See 2 Samuel 3:16 note. It seems to have lain off the road, on a ridge 2 Samuel 16:13, separated from it by a narrow ravine, so that Shimei was out of easy reach though within hearing, and within a stone's throw 2 Samuel 16:6, 2 Samuel 16:9.
Shimei, the son of Gera - In the title to Psalm 7 he is apparently called "Cush the Benjamite." On Gera, see Judges 3:15 note.

2 Samuel 16:7
繁體中文
「出去吧」——更確切地說，應作「出去」，即離開這地，出去流亡。可比較 Jeremiah 29:16。
「你這流人血的」——見邊注。耶和華對大衛所說的話（1 Chronicles 22:8），示每大概早已知道，如今便把它當面擲回大衛，特別針對烏利亞的無辜之血。
英文原文
Come out - Rather, "Go out," namely, of the land, into banishment. Compare Jeremiah 29:16.
Thou bloody man - See the margin. The Lord's word to David 1 Chronicles 22:8 was probably known to Shimei and now cast in David's teeth by him, with special reference to the innocent blood of Uriah.

2 Samuel 16:8
繁體中文
「掃羅家的血」——示每大概把掃羅、約拿單、亞比拿達、麥基舒亞之死都算在大衛帳上——他們是被與大衛結盟的非利士人殺死的；又把伊施波設之死歸因於大衛與押尼珥的結盟；把押尼珥本人的死歸於大衛的密令；還有約押與押尼珥爭戰中被殺的三百六十人（2 Samuel 2:31）。也有人認為，掃羅近族七人之死（2 Samuel 21:8）發生在大衛逃亡之前，示每所指的正是這事。示每的仇恨與惡毒表明：即使在大衛王朝最興盛的日子，便雅憫人仍對王位離開他們支派一事懷恨在心。
英文原文
All the blood of the house of Saul - Shimei probably put to David's account the death of Saul, and Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Melchishua, slain in battle by the Philistines with whom David was in league; of Ish-bosheth, slain in consequence of David's league with Abner; that of Abner himself, which he attributed to David's secret orders; and all the 360 slain in the battle between Joab and Abner 2 Samuel 2:31. Some, too, think that the death of seven men of Saul's immediate family 2 Samuel 21:8 had occurred before David's flight, and was referred to by Shimei. Shimei's hatred and virulence is an indication that the Benjamites resented the loss of royalty in their tribe, even in the palmiest days of David's monarchy.
9
2 Samuel 16:9
繁體中文
「這死狗」——見邊注參考經文及 2 Samuel 9:8 的註釋。
「容我過去」——指那道溝谷，其間或許有水流（2 Samuel 17:20），正橫在他們與示每中間。
英文原文
This dead dog - See the marginal reference and 2 Samuel 9:8 note.
Go over - The ravine, possibly with a stream of water 2 Samuel 17:20, which lay between them and Shimei.
10
2 Samuel 16:10
繁體中文
「我與你們有何相干……」——見邊注參考經文；可比較 Matthew 8:29；John 2:4；另可參看對洗魯雅眾子類似的抱怨（2 Samuel 3:39）。至於大衛之子的生平中一個類似的動人事例，見 Luke 9:52-56。
英文原文
What have I to do ... - See the marginal references compare Matthew 8:29; John 2:4, and a similar complaint about the sons of Zeruiah 2 Samuel 3:39. And for a like striking incident in the life of the Son of David, see Luke 9:52-56.
12
2 Samuel 16:12
繁體中文
他的咒詛——另有讀法作「我的咒詛」，即臨到我身上的咒詛。大衛在每一句話、每一個行動中，都承認自己正在承受他的罪所當得的報應，也就是拿單曾經預言的事。
英文原文
His cursing - Another reading has "my curse," i. e., the curse that has fallen upon me. David recognizes in every word and action that he was receiving the due reward of his sin, and that which Nathan had foretold.
21
2 Samuel 16:21
繁體中文
尚無翻譯。
英文原文
Taking possession of the harem was the most decided act of sovereignty (see 1 Kings 2:22). It was also the greatest offence and insult that could be offered. Such an act on Absalom's part made reconciliation impossible. A further motive has been found in this advice, namely, the desire on the part of Ahithophel to make David taste the bitterness of that cup which he had caused others (Uriah and all Bath-sheba's family) to drink, and receive the measure which he had meted withal.
「兩匹備鞍的驢」——本應是給米非波設和他的僕人騎的。見 2 Samuel 19:26 的註釋。
