Now therefore, O king, come down, according to all the desire of thy soul to come down; and our part shall be to deriver him up into the king's hand.

And, now, by all the desire of thy soul, O king, to come down, come down, and ours is to shut him up into the hand of the king.'

So now, O king, have your soul's desire and come down, and we, for our part, will give him up into the king's hands.

Now therefore, if your soul has desired to descend, then descend. Then it will be for us to deliver him into the hands of the king."

Now therefore, O king, come down,.... From Gibeah to Ziph, and the wilderness of it, where David was:
according to all the desires of thy soul to come down; to seize such a prey which he was greatly desirous of, and of nothing more so than of that according to Abarbinel, the sense is, that the thing was ready in whatever way he should desire it; if he chose to come down himself, and lay hold on him, they invite him to come down; but if he did not choose to come down himself, they would seize him, and bring him to him, and deliver him up into his hand, and so he would be under no necessity of going down after him:
and our part shall be to deliver him into the king's hand; this we will take upon us to do, and save the king the trouble of coming down.
