2 Samuel 17:22 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 17:22

Then David arose, and all the people that [were] with him, and
passed over Jordan
Taking the advice of Hushai:

by the morning light there lacked not one of them that was not gone
over Jordan;
they travelled all night, and before it was morning they had all passed the river in boats, or through the fords, and not one was lost in the passage, nor any deserted, see ( John 17:12 ) ; and now perhaps David penned the forty second and forty third psalms, ( Psalms 42:1-43:5 ) .

2 Samuel 17:22 In-Context

20 When Absalom's servants came to the woman at the house they demanded, "Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?" The woman told them, "They crossed over the stream." They looked for them but found nothing, so they returned to Jerusalem.

21 After they had left, Jonathan and Ahimaaz climbed out of the well. They went and reported to King David, "Get up! Cross the water immediately because Ahithophel has made plans against you!"

22 So David and all the troops who were with him got up and crossed the Jordan River. By daybreak there was no one left who hadn't crossed the Jordan.

23 Meanwhile, once Ahithophel saw that his advice hadn't been followed, he saddled his donkey and went home to his own town. He gave instructions to his household, then hanged himself and died. He was buried in his father's tomb.

24 David had reached Mahanaim by the time Absalom and all the Israelites who were with him crossed the Jordan River.
