"You are my brothers, you are my bone and my flesh. Why then are you the last to bring back the king?'"
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
Ye are my brethren, ye are my bones and my flesh,.... Being of the same tribe, and therefore he should deal gently with them, as if they were parts of
his body; and not be severe upon them, for the hand they had in the conspiracy, as they might fear: and wherefore then are ye the last to bring the king back? since they were so nearly related to him, and he so ready to forgive them.
