Commentary on 2 Samuel 15:6

Theological / Devotional

On this manner. Absalom succeeded in creating a general discontent with David’s administration of government. The fickle populace did not see through his scheme.

Stole the hearts. The means employed were dishonest and unfair. Absalom purposely deceived the people, creating suspicion, disaffection, and animosity against the king. Everywhere men praised Absalom and criticized the king. People were wishing that David would abdicate so that Absalom might take his seat upon the throne.
