2 Samuel 18:2 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 18:2

And David sent forth a third part of the people under the hand
of Joab
Very likely that which made the centre of the army, since Joab was the general of the army; though this distribution was made when David thought to have headed the army himself, and so made with respect to that:

and a third part under the hand of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's
brother;
who was next to Joab in the army, and fought with him against the Syrians and Ammonites, ( 2 Samuel 10:10 2 Samuel 10:11 ) ;

and a third part under the hand of Ittai the Gittite;
of whom see ( 2 Samuel 15:19 ) ; of these two parts consisted the right and left wings of the army:

and the king said unto the people;
the soldiers, and particularly the officers:

I will surely go forth with you myself also;
in which he seemed very resolute and peremptory; and this he proposed to do, not merely to animate the soldiers with his presence, and to show that he was willing to hazard his life with them, but chiefly for the sake of Absalom, to preserve his life, if possible.

2 Samuel 18:2 In-Context

1 EntĂŁo Davi contou o povo que tinha consigo, e pĂ´s sobre ele chefes de mil e chefes de cem.
2 E Davi enviou o exército, um terço sob o mando de Joabe, outro terço sob o mando de Abisai, filho de Zeruia, irmão de Joabe, e outro terço sob o mando de Itai, o giteu. E disse o rei ao povo: Eu também sairei convosco.
3 Mas o povo respondeu: Não sairás; porque se fugirmos, eles não se importarão conosco; nem se importarão conosco ainda que morra metade de nós; porque tu vales por dez mil tais como nós. Melhor será que da cidade nos mandes socorro.
4 Respondeu-lhes o rei: Farei o que vos parecer bem. E o rei se pĂ´s ao lado da porta, e todo o povo saiu em centenas e em milhares.
5 E o rei deu ordem a Joabe, a Abisai e a Itai, dizendo: Tratai brandamente, por amor de mim, o mancebo AbsalĂŁo. E todo o povo ouviu quando o rei deu ordem a todos os chefes acerca de AbsalĂŁo.
