2 Samuel 15:35 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 15:35

And [hast thou] not there with thee Zadok and Abiathar the
priests?
&c.] To assist in forming schemes directly opposite to Ahithophel's, or to whom he could communicate the secrets of Absalom's court:

therefore it shall be [that] what thing soever thou shalt hear out of
the king's house;
Absalom's, who had now, at possession of the house and palace of David:

thou shalt tell [it] to Zadok and Abiathar the priests;
to whom he might have recourse without suspicion, pretending he had business with them as priests, on religious accounts, to offer sacrifices for him, &c.

2 Samuel 15:35 In-Context

33 David said to Hushai, "If you go with me, you will be just one more person for me to take care of.
34 But if you return to the city, you can make Ahithophel's advice useless. Tell Absalom, 'I am your servant, my king. In the past I served your father, but now I will serve you.'
35 The priests Zadok and Abiathar will be with you. Tell them everything you hear in the royal palace.
36 Zadok's son Ahimaaz and Abiathar's son Jonathan are with them. Send them to tell me everything you hear."
37 So David's friend Hushai entered Jerusalem just as Absalom arrived.
