This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Is this thy voice, my son David? he knew his voice though being at a great distance from him, he could not discern his face.
And wept; partly from the sense of his sin against God, and of his wicked and base carriage to David; (for there are some such temporary passions oft-times in hypocrites and ungodly men;) and principally from the remembrance of so great and so late a danger as he had now escaped; which commonly produceth grief and tears; as 2Sa_13:36. Yet these may be tears of affection or tenderness (upon the sense of David’s kindness) rather than of grief.
