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.

2 Samuel 16:14 In-Context

12 "Perhaps the LORD will look on my affliction and return good to me instead of his cursing this day."

13 So David and his men went on the way; and Shimei went along on the hillside parallel with him and as he went he cursed and cast stones and threw dust at him.

14 The king and all the people who were with him arrived weary and he refreshed himself there.

15 Then Absalom and all the people, the men of Israel, entered Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.

16 Now it came about when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, came to Absalom, that Hushai said to Absalom, "Long live the king! Long live the king!"
