2 Samuel 15:35 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 15:35

And [hast thou] not there with thee Zadok and Abiathar the
priests?
&c.] To assist in forming schemes directly opposite to Ahithophel's, or to whom he could communicate the secrets of Absalom's court:

therefore it shall be [that] what thing soever thou shalt hear out of
the king's house;
Absalom's, who had now, at possession of the house and palace of David:

thou shalt tell [it] to Zadok and Abiathar the priests;
to whom he might have recourse without suspicion, pretending he had business with them as priests, on religious accounts, to offer sacrifices for him, &c.

2 Samuel 15:35 In-Context

33 David said, "If you come with me, you'll be just one more piece of luggage.
34 Go back to the city and say to Absalom, 'I'm ready to be your servant, O King; I used to be your father's servant, now I'm your servant.' Do that and you'll be able to confuse Ahithophel's counsel for me.
35 The priests Zadok and Abiathar are already there; whatever information you pick up in the palace, tell them.
36 Their two sons - Zadok's son Ahimaaz and Abiathar's son Jonathan - are there with them - anything you pick up can be sent to me by them."
37 Hushai, David's friend, arrived at the same time Absalom was entering Jerusalem.
