2 Samuel 17:4 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 17:4

And the saying pleased Absalom well, and all elders of Israel.
] That were of the privy council; for it was a well contrived scheme to surprise David his men by night, in the condition they were in; nothing like seizing an opportunity, and making quick dispatch in executing a villainous design; only it is strange that Absalom could so easily come into a scheme to take away the life of so indulgent a father, which is only to be accounted for by his ambition; but it is stranger still that the elders of Israel should be pleased with it, and agree to and determine upon the death of a prince, who had so many years ruled them with justice and equity, clemency and mercy; and fought their battles for them, and raised their nation to such a pitch of glory it never had before.

2 Samuel 17:4 In-Context

2 Eu o atacarei enquanto ele está exausto e fraco; vou causar-lhe pânico, e seu exército fugirá. Depois matarei somente o rei

3 e trarei todo o exército de volta a ti. É somente um homem que procuras matar. Assim, todo o exército ficará em paz”.

4 Esse plano pareceu bom a Absalão e a todas as autoridades de Israel.

5 Entretanto, Absalão disse: “Chamem também Husai, o arquita, para que ouçamos a opinião dele”.

6 Quando Husai entrou, Absalão lhe disse: “Aitofel deu-nos o conselho dele. Devemos fazer o que ele diz, ou você tem outra opinião?”
