Why speakest.
Job 19:16‑17• 16I called my servant, and he answered not; I entreated him with my mouth.
 17My breath is strange to my wife, and my entreaties to the children of my mother's womb. (Job 19:16‑17)
;
Prov. 18:13• 13He that giveth answer before he heareth, it is folly and shame unto him. (Prov. 18:13)
;
Acts 18:15• 15but if it be questions about words, and names, and the law that ye have, see to it yourselves; for *I* do not intend to be judge of these things. (Acts 18:15)
Thou.
Deut. 19:17‑19• 17then both the men between whom the controversy is shall stand before Jehovah, before the priests and the judges that shall be in those days;
 18and the judges shall make thorough inquiry; and if the witness be a false witness, and he have testified falsely against his brother,
 19then shall ye do unto him as he had thought to have done unto his brother; and thou shalt put evil away from thy midst. (Deut. 19:17‑19)

;
Psa. 101:5• 5Whoso secretly slandereth his neighbour, him will I destroy; him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer. (Psa. 101:5)
• {v.29-30} How then can David treat him so rudely? "Why speakest thou any more of thy matters?" (2 Sam. 19:29). These words remind us a little of those, seemingly so hard, that Jesus spoke to the Syrophenician woman. The Lord spoke them to put this woman's faith to the test. When an engineer builds a bridge he has very heavy loads go across it in order to test it. David's words do the same. Mephibosheth's precious faith is put to the test and what comes forth is only the perfume of dependence and self-denial. (“Grace: 2 Samuel 19:1-40” by H.L. Rossier)
• This is not what David had said (cf. 2 Sam. 16:4). which seems to indicate that he realized that in some measure he had erred. (“Grace: 2 Samuel 19:1-40” by H.L. Rossier)
