Matthew Poole and continuators on Philippians 2:19

19 But I trust in the Lord Jesus , to send Timotheus shortly unto you , that I also may be of good comfort , when I know your state .

Diverting from his former exhortation, the more to comfort them, he expresseth his good hope (which in respect of the object we translate trust) in the Lord Jesus, exalted above every name, that he would be pleased some way or other, to afford him such liberty, notwithstanding his restraint.

That he should within a little while after the arrival of Epaphroditus, now upon his return, dispatch Timothy to them.

Not for their further benevolence, but for the composing of their Spirits, and setling of their affairs, which to him, solicitous of their Souls welfare, (as a like case for others, 1 Thess. 2.19. with 3.5.) would be great satisfaction.

When he should be certainly acquainted how things went with them; who might justly expect his sympathy, Rom. 12.15. 1 Cor. 12.26. 2 Cor. 11.28, 29.
