What Does 2 Samuel 16:14 Mean?
At last the king and all his people reach their stopping place, worn out by the flight and the cursing, and there they refresh themselves.
After the long road of insult comes a measure of rest. God grants His servants pauses in the midst of trial, places to recover strength before the next stretch of the way. The weariness is real, but so is the refreshment, a quiet token that the One who leads through hardship also provides for the journey.
2 Samuel 16:14 in the Original Language
