II Samuel 19:25 And when he met the king, at Jerusalem, the king said to him: Why camest thou not with me, Miphiboseth?

Met. Protestants, "was come to Jerusalem, to meet the king." (Haydock) --- But his usual residence was in the city, where Siba had left him, 2 Kings 16:3. We should therefore translate, "And coming to meet the king at his arrival in Jerusalem." (Calmet)
