2 Samuel 16:23

23 En aquella época, recibir el consejo de Ajitofel era como oír la palabra misma de Dios, y esto era así tanto para David como para Absalón.

2 Samuel 16:23 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 16:23

And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he had counselled in
those days
Both in the days of David, and in the days of Absalom, before and since the rebellion:

[was] as if a man had inquired of the oracle of God;
such an opinion was entertained of it, so well satisfied were they with it, and as confident of success in taking it, as if the Lord himself had been consulted by Urim and Thummim; this is a very great exaggeration of Ahithophel's counsel, and is observed as a reason why it was so readily taken, though so bad in the preceding instance:

so [was] all the counsel of Ahithophel, both with David and with
Absalom;
Ahithophel was a crafty man, a time server, that temporized with princes, and knew how to suit his counsels with their tempers and interests: to David he gave good counsel, what was acceptable with him, and to Absalom bad counsel, which was pleasing to him.

2 Samuel 16:23 In-Context

21 Ajitofel le respondió:—Acuéstese usted con las concubinas que su padre dejó al cuidado del palacio. De ese modo todos los israelitas se darán cuenta de que Su Majestad ha roto con su padre, y quienes lo apoyan a usted se fortalecerán en el poder.

22 Entonces instalaron una tienda de campaña en la azotea para que Absalón se acostara con las concubinas de su padre a la vista de todos los israelitas.

23 En aquella época, recibir el consejo de Ajitofel era como oír la palabra misma de Dios, y esto era así tanto para David como para Absalón.
