2 Samuel 17:16

Listen to 2 Samuel 17:16

2 Samuel 17:16 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 17:16

Now therefore send quickly and tell David
What has been advised to on both sides:

saying, lodge not this night in the plains of the wilderness;
which reached to Jericho; this advice he gave, because he knew not whether his counsel would be abode by, though preferred; Absalom and the elders of Israel might change their minds, and Ahithophel might, by the strength of his oratory, prevail upon them after all to follow his advice; and therefore, to guard against the worst, he judged it most prudential in David to make all the haste he could from that place where he was, and not continue a night longer in it; for, if Ahithophel's counsel should take place, he would be in pursuit of him that very night:

but speedily pass over;
the river Jordan:

lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that [are] with him:
be destroyed by the forces Ahithophel should bring with him, which he would not be able to withstand.

2 Samuel 17:16 In-Context

14 Então Absalão e todos os homens e Israel disseram: Melhor é o conselho de Husai, o arquita, do que o conselho de Aitofel: Porque assim o Senhor o ordenara, para aniquilar o bom conselho de Aitofel, a fim de trazer o mal sobre Absalão.
15 Também disse Husai a Zadoque e a Abiatar, sacerdotes: Assim e assim aconselhou Aitofel a Absalão e aos anciãos de Israel; porém eu aconselhei assim e assim.
16 Agora, pois, mandai apressadamente avisar a Davi, dizendo: Não passes esta noite nos vaus do deserto; mas passa sem falta � outra banda, para que não seja devorado o rei, e todo o povo que com ele está.
17 Ora, Jônatas e Aimaaz estavam esperando junto a En-Rogel; e foi uma criada, e lhes avisou, para que eles fossem e o dissessem ao rei Davi; pois não deviam ser vistos entrando na cidade.
18 Viu-os todavia um moço, e avisou a Absalão. Ambos, porém, partiram apressadamente, e entraram em casa de um homem, em Baurim, o qual tinha no pátio de sua casa um poço, para o qual eles desceram.
