Verse 11. My table, if the king was pleased so to order. Sanchez.—It would seem that Siba did not properly understand the king. Calmet.—The Septuagint Syr. and Arab. read, perhaps more correctly u, “his,” instead o i, “my table,” in shulchani. “And Memphibosthai ate at David’s table, as one,” and so forth Bible.—He did not merely eat of the king’s table, (verse 13,) but at it, super mensam, as the Hebrew Chal. and Septuagint express. Menochius.
