Commentary

Commentary on 2 Samuel 16:15

Theological / Devotional

Came to Jerusalem. David’s flight from Jerusalem gave Absalom free access to the city. Things seemed to be going better for him than he had expected. His first plans probably were to make his headquarters at Hebron until the situation clarified itself. But when David evacuated Jerusalem, there was nothing to prevent his immediate occupation of the city.

Ahithophel. See on chs. 15:31; 16:22.
