2Sa 19:25 “Now when Jerusalem (i.e., the inhabitants of the capital) came to meet the king,”
David said to him (i.e., to Mephibosheth, who was with the deputation from the capital which welcomed David at the Jordan), “Why wentest thou not with me, Mephibosheth?” David was justified in putting this question after what Ziba had told him concerning Mephibosheth (2Sa 16:3).
