2 Samuele 18:6 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 18:6

So the people went out into the field against Israel
Josephus F5 calls it a great field, with a wood behind it:

and the battle was in the wood of Ephraim;
or near it F6 rather; not in a wood in the tribe of Ephraim, which lay on this side Jordan; whereas this battle was fought on the other side Jordan, in the land of Gilead, not far from Mahanaim, where was this wood; and which was so called, either from the slaughter of the Ephraimites here in the times of Jephthah, ( Judges 12:4-6 ) ; or from the Ephraimites feeding their cattle here and near it; for the Jews say F7, that Joshua gave them a grant to feed their cattle in any wood in any of the tribes of Israel; and lying near Jordan, they used to drive their cattle over to this place, from whence it had its name.

2 Samuele 18:6 In-Context

4 Il re rispose loro: "Farò quello che vi par bene". E il re si fermò presso la porta, mentre tutto l’esercito usciva a schiere di cento e di mille uomini.
5 E il re diede quest’ordine a Joab, ad Abishai e ad Ittai: "Per amor mio, trattate con riguardo il giovine Absalom!" E tutto il popolo udì quando il re diede a tutti i capitani quest’ordine relativamente ad Absalom.
6 L’esercito si mise dunque in campagna contro Israele, e la battaglia ebbe luogo nella foresta di Efraim.
7 E il popolo d’Israele fu quivi sconfitto dalla gente di Davide; e la strage ivi fu grande in quel giorno, caddero ventimila uomini.
8 La battaglia si estese su tutta la contrada; e la foresta divorò in quel giorno assai più gente di quella che non avesse divorato la spada.
