2 Samuel 15:36 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 15:36

Behold, [they have] there with them two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok's
[son], and Jonathan, Abiathar's [son]
As in ( 2 Samuel 15:27 ) ; not that they were in the city with them, but they were near it, ( 2 Samuel 17:17 ) ; with whom they had a communication:

and by whom ye shall send unto me everything that ye can hear;
that is, by the sons of the priests; he telling the priests how things were at court, and they sending their sons with messages to David; which was a good scheme to get intelligence, and easy to be put into execution.

2 Samuel 15:36 In-Context

34 But if you return to the city, you can make Ahithophel's advice useless. Tell Absalom, 'I am your servant, my king. In the past I served your father, but now I will serve you.'

35 The priests Zadok and Abiathar will be with you. Tell them everything you hear in the royal palace.

36 Zadok's son Ahimaaz and Abiathar's son Jonathan are with them. Send them to tell me everything you hear."

37 So David's friend Hushai entered Jerusalem just as Absalom arrived.
