2 Samuele 15:14

Listen to 2 Samuele 15:14
14 Allora Davide disse a tutti i suoi servitori ch’erano con lui in Gerusalemme: Levatevi, fuggiamocene; perciocchè noi non potremo scampare d’innanzi ad Absalom; affrettatevi a camminare; chè talora egli di subito non ci raggiunga, e non trabocchi la ruina addosso a noi; e non percuota la città, mettendola a fil di spada.

2 Samuele 15:14 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 15:14

And David said unto all his servants that [were] with him at
Jerusalem
His courtiers and ministers of state, the officers of his household, as many of them as were with him in the city; for some of them very probably were in the country, as Ahithophel was, and some might be along with Absalom, whom he had invited to his peace offerings:

arise, and let us flee;
it is much that a man of such courage and valour as David should be so intimidated at once as to make a flight as soon as he heard of a conspiracy forming against him:

for we shall not [else] escape from Absalom;
his fears ran so high, that he fancied he would be upon them presently:

make speed to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly;
which still more clearly shows the panic he was in:

and bring evil upon us;
kill them, or make them prisoners:

and smite the city with the edge of the sword;
the inhabitants of it, should they make resistance.

2 Samuele 15:14 In-Context

12 Ed Absalom, quando fu per sacrificare i sacrificii, mandò per Ahitofel Ghilonita, consigliere di Davide, che venisse da Ghilo, sua città; e la conguira divenne potente, e il popolo andava crescendo di numero appresso di Absalom.
13 Ora un messo venne a Davide, dicendo: Il cuor degl’Israeliti è dietro ad Absalom.
14 Allora Davide disse a tutti i suoi servitori ch’erano con lui in Gerusalemme: Levatevi, fuggiamocene; perciocchè noi non potremo scampare d’innanzi ad Absalom; affrettatevi a camminare; chè talora egli di subito non ci raggiunga, e non trabocchi la ruina addosso a noi; e non percuota la città, mettendola a fil di spada.
15 Ed i servitori del re gli dissero: Ecco i tuoi servitori, per fare interamente secondo che al re, mio signore, parrĂ  bene.
16 Il re adunque uscì fuori, e tutta la sua casa lo seguitò. E il re lasciò dieci donne concubine a guardia della casa.
