Commentary on 2 Samuel 15:30

Theological / Devotional

His head covered. A sign of deep mourning (see 2 Samuel 19:4; Esther 6:12; Jeremiah 14:3,4).

Weeping as they went. This was a dark moment for David and the people with him. They had left their homes and were fleeing for their lives. No one could predict the future. They could see only deeper shadows and greater sorrows ahead.
