Kings II 15:33 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 15:33

Five and twenty years old was he when he began to reign
Alone, after the death of his father:

and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem;
and his reign, upon the whole, was a good reign:

and his mother's name was Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok;
a person well known in those times; Dr. Lightfoot ^F8 thinks he was high priest.

Kings II 15:33 In-Context

31 And it was reported to David, saying, Achitophel also among the conspirators with Abessalom. And David said, O Lord my God, disconcert, I pray thee, the counsel of Achitophel.

32 And David came as far as Ros, where he worshipped God: and behold, Chusi the chief friend of David came out to meet him, having rent his garment, and earth upon his head.

33 And David said to him, If thou shouldest go over with me, then wilt thou be a burden to me;

34 but if thou shall return to the city, and shalt say to Abessalom, Thy brethren are passed over, and the king thy father is passed over after me: and now I am thy servant, O king, suffer me to live: at one time even of late I was the servant of thy father, and now I thy humble servant—so shalt thou disconcert for me, the counsel of Achitophel.

35 And, behold, there with thee Sadoc and Abiathar the priests; and it shall be that every word that thou shalt hear of the house of the king, thou shalt report it to Sadoc and Abiathar the priests.
