2 Samuel 15:27 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 15:27

And the king said unto Zadok the priest, [art not] thou a
seer?
&c.] A prophet, as well as a priest; see ( 1 Samuel 9:9 ) ; or a seeing, knowing, man; one that can penetrate into men and things, and so might be of more service to David at Jerusalem than with him: wherefore he said to him,

return into the city in peace;
to the city of Jerusalem with peace, quietness, and satisfaction of mind; where he doubted not, at least hoped and wished, he would be in safety and prosperity, being one of the Lord's priests:

and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz thy son, and Jonathan the son of
Abiathar;
the one was of the line of Eleazar, and the other of the line of Ithamar.

2 Samuel 15:27 In-Context

25 And the king saith to Zadok, `Take back the ark of God to the city; if I find grace in the eyes of Jehovah, then He hath brought me back, and shewn me it and His habitation;

26 and if thus He say, I have not delighted in thee; here [am] I, He doth to me as [is] good in His eyes.'

27 And the king saith unto Zadok the priest, `Art thou a seer? turn back to the city in peace, and Ahimaaz thy son, and Jonathan son of Abiathar, your two sons with you;

28 see ye, I am tarrying in the plains of the wilderness till the coming in of a word from you to declare to me.'

29 And Zadok taketh back -- and Abiathar -- the ark of God to Jerusalem, and they abide there.
