2 Samuel 17:22 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 17:22

Then David arose, and all the people that [were] with him, and
passed over Jordan
Taking the advice of Hushai:

by the morning light there lacked not one of them that was not gone
over Jordan;
they travelled all night, and before it was morning they had all passed the river in boats, or through the fords, and not one was lost in the passage, nor any deserted, see ( John 17:12 ) ; and now perhaps David penned the forty second and forty third psalms, ( Psalms 42:1-43:5 ) .

2 Samuel 17:22 In-Context

20 Absalom's servants came to the woman at her home. "Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?" they asked. The woman said, "They've crossed the stream." The servants looked for them but did not find them. So Absalom's servants returned to Jerusalem.

21 After Absalom's servants left, both men came out of the cistern and went and told King David. "Leave right away," they told David. "Cross the river quickly because this is what Ahithophel has advised against you...."

22 David and all the troops with him left to cross the Jordan River. When the dawn came, everyone had crossed the Jordan River.

23 When Ahithophel saw that his advice hadn't been followed, he saddled his donkey, left, and went home to his own city. He gave instructions to his family. Then he hanged himself, died, and was buried in his father's tomb.

24 David had [already] come to Mahanaim by the time Absalom and all the men of Israel with him crossed the Jordan River.
