2 Samuel 17:22 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 17:22

Then David arose, and all the people that [were] with him, and
passed over Jordan
Taking the advice of Hushai:

by the morning light there lacked not one of them that was not gone
over Jordan;
they travelled all night, and before it was morning they had all passed the river in boats, or through the fords, and not one was lost in the passage, nor any deserted, see ( John 17:12 ) ; and now perhaps David penned the forty second and forty third psalms, ( Psalms 42:1-43:5 ) .

2 Samuel 17:22 In-Context

20 And when Absalom's servants came to the woman to the house, they said, Where [is] Ahimaaz and Jonathan? And the woman said to them, they have gone over the brook of water. And when they had sought and could not find [them], they returned to Jerusalem.

21 And it came to pass, after they had departed, that they came out of the well, and went and told king David, and said to David, Arise, and pass quickly over the water: for thus hath Ahithophel counseled against you.

22 Then David arose, and all the people that [were] with him, and they passed over Jordan: by the morning light there lacked not one of them that had not gone over Jordan.

23 And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled [his] ass, and arose, and went home to his house, to his city, and put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died. and was buried in the sepulcher of his father.

24 Then David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom passed over Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.
