2 Samuel 15:1

Listen to 2 Samuel 15:1

Absalón conspira contra David

1 Pasado algún tiempo, Absalón consiguió carros de combate, algunos caballos y una escolta de cincuenta soldados.

2 Samuel 15:1 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 15:1

And it came to pass after this
After the reconciliation of David and Absalom, and the latter was admitted to court again:

that Absalom prepared him chariots and horses;
to make himself look grand and respectable among the people; perhaps he got these from his grandfather at Geshur in Syria:

and fifty men to run before him;
which added to his pomp and magnificence; and such great personages in later time have had; Nero the Roman emperor never went on a journey with less than a thousand calashes or chariots, and a great number of men that ran before him {c}: and this was tacitly setting himself up for king, at least preparing for it, as Adonijah afterwards did in the same way and manner, ( 1 Kings 1:5 ) .

2 Samuel 15:1 In-Context

1 Pasado algún tiempo, Absalón consiguió carros de combate, algunos caballos y una escolta de cincuenta soldados.
2 Se levantaba temprano y se ponía a la vera del camino, junto a la entrada de la ciudad. Cuando pasaba alguien que iba a ver al rey para que le resolviera un pleito, Absalón lo llamaba y le preguntaba de qué pueblo venía. Aquel le decía de qué tribu israelita era,
3 y Absalón le aseguraba: «Tu demanda es muy justa, pero no habrá quien te escuche de parte del rey».
4 En seguida añadía: «¡Ojalá me pusieran por juez en el país! Todo el que tuviera un pleito o una demanda vendría a mí, y yo le haría justicia».
5 Además de esto, si alguien se le acercaba para inclinarse ante él, Absalón le tendía los brazos, lo abrazaba y lo saludaba con un beso.
