2 Samuel 15:5 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 15:5

And it was [so], that when any man came nigh [to him] to do him
obeisance
To pay his respects, and bow to him, as being the king's son, a prince of the blood, and heir to the crown, as was supposed:

he put forth his hand, and took him, and kissed him;
he put out his hand and shook hands with him, or took him about the neck and kissed him, and by this free, familiar, affable, and courteous manner, strangely won upon and gained the affections of the people, as follows. Fortunatus Schacchus F5 thinks he put forth his hand to be kissed by them, and then kissed them, which was more than was usual.

2 Samuel 15:5 In-Context

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.
6 Esto hacía Absalón con todos los israelitas que iban a ver al rey para que les resolviera algún asunto, y así fue ganándose el cariño del pueblo.
7 Al cabo de cuatro años, Absalón le dijo al rey:—Permítame Su Majestad ir a Hebrón, a cumplir un voto que le hice al SEÑOR.
