2 Samuel 16:15 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 16:15

And Absalom, and all the people, the men of Israel, came to
Jerusalem
At the same time that David and his people came to Bahurim; which, as Josephus ^F26 says, was a place near to Jerusalem; and, according to Bunting ^F1, was little more than a mile from it; though elsewhere ^F2 he makes it three miles; so that had not David made the hasty flight he did, he had fallen into the hands of Absalom:

and Ahithophel with him:
a famous counsellor, and who had been of David's privy council, and chief in it, see ( 2 Samuel 15:12 2 Samuel 15:31 ) and whom David refers to in ( Psalms 55:12-14 ) .

2 Samuel 16:15 In-Context

13 Prosseguiam, pois, o seu caminho, Davi e os seus homens, enquanto Simei ia pela encosta do monte, defronte dele, caminhando e amaldiçoando, e atirava pedras contra ele, e levantava poeira.

14 E o rei e todo o povo que ia com ele chegaram cansados ao Jordão; e ali descansaram.

15 Absalão e todo o povo, os homens de Israel, vieram a Jerusalém; e Aitofel estava com ele.

16 E chegando Husai, o arquita, amigo de Davi, a Absalão, disse-lhe: Viva o rei, viva o rei!

17 Absalão, porém, perguntou a Husai: E esta a tua benevolência para com o teu amigo? Por que não foste com o teu amigo?
