2 Samuel 17:1-7

Listen to 2 Samuel 17:1-7
1 Entonces Ahitofel dijo a Absalón: Yo escogeré ahora doce mil hombres, y me levantaré, y seguiré a David esta noche;
2 y daré sobre él, que él estará cansado y flaco de manos; lo atemorizaré, y todo el pueblo que está con él huirá, y heriré al rey solo.
3 Así tornaré a todo el pueblo a ti; y cuando ellos hubieren vuelto, (pues aquel hombre es el que tú quieres) todo el pueblo estará en paz.
4 Esta palabra fue recta en ojos Absalón y de todos los ancianos de Israel.
5 Y dijo Absalón: Yo te ruego que llames también a Husai araquita, para que asimismo oigamos lo que él dirá.
6 Y cuando Husai vino a Absalón, le habló Absalón, diciendo: Así ha dicho Ahitofel; ¿seguiremos su consejo, o no? Di tú.
7 Entonces Husai dijo a Absalón: El consejo que ha dado esta vez Ahitofel no es bueno.

2 Samuel 17:1-7 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO SECOND SAMUEL 17

This chapter relates the advice Ahithophel gave to march out speedily with a number of men in pursuit of David, which at first seemed agreeable, 2Sa 17:1-4; but Hushai's opinion being asked, and he giving counsel to raise a larger army, which required time, and was taken to, hereby the counsel of Ahithophel was defeated, 2Sa 17:5-14; upon which he hanged himself, 2Sa 17:23; these different counsels being communicated by Hushai to the priests, they found means to transmit them to David, with an instruction to him to pass over Jordan immediately; which he did, and pitched in Gilead, and whither he was followed by Absalom, 2Sa 17:15-26; and where he met with a supply of provisions for his army from some eminent persons in and near that place, 2Sa 17:27-29.
