2 Samuele 17:21

Listen to 2 Samuele 17:21
21 E, dopo che se ne furono andati, quelli salirono fuor del pozzo, e andarono, e rapportarono la cosa a Davide; e gli dissero: Levatevi, e passate prestamente l’acqua; perciocchè Ahitofel ha dato tal consiglio contro a voi.

2 Samuele 17:21 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 17:21

And it came to pass after they were departed
The servants of Absalom:

that they came up out of the well;
the sons of the priests, being informed by the woman that they were gone; Josephus F19 says they were drawn up by the woman with a rope:

and went and told King David;
who was now in the plain of the wilderness, perhaps near Jericho, and not a great way from Jordan, to whom they related the whole of their message:

and said unto David;
as they were directed:

arise, and pass quickly over the water;
the river Jordan:

for thus hath Ahithophel counselled against you;
to come with twelve thousand men, and fall upon him that very night; and it was not certain his counsel would be rejected; and therefore it was advisable for David to prepare against the worst.

2 Samuele 17:21 In-Context

19 E la donna di casa prese una coverta, e la distese sopra la bocca del pozzo, e vi sparse su del grano infranto; e niuno seppe il fatto.
20 Ed i servitori di Absalom vennero a quella donna in casa, e le dissero: Dove è Ahimaas e Gionatan? Ed ella disse loro: Hanno passato il guado dell’acqua. Ed essi li cercarono; ma, non trovandoli, se ne ritornarono in Gerusalemme.
21 E, dopo che se ne furono andati, quelli salirono fuor del pozzo, e andarono, e rapportarono la cosa a Davide; e gli dissero: Levatevi, e passate prestamente l’acqua; perciocchè Ahitofel ha dato tal consiglio contro a voi.
22 Davide adunque si levò, con tutta la gente ch’era con lui, e passò il Giordano; avanti lo schiarir del dì, tutti, fino ad uno, aveano passato il Giordano.
23 Or Ahitofel, veduto che non si era fatto ciò ch’egli avea consigliato, sellò il suo asino, e si levò, e andò a casa sua nella sua città, e diede ordine alla sua casa; e poi si strangolò, e morì, e fu seppellito nella sepoltura di suo padre.
