2 Samuel 16:14 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 16:14

And the king, and all the people that [were] with him, came
weary
With their journey, and through grief and trouble at what they met with:

and refreshed themselves there:
that is, at Bahurim, with food and rest; which revived their spirits, and put as it were new life and soul into them, as the word used signifies. Josephus ^F25 says, when David came to Jordan, he refreshed his weary men.
