Commentary on 2 Samuel 20:7
Theological / DevotionalJoab’s men. David had made a desperate effort to deprive Joab of his command, but the army was still largely his and the men still acknowledged allegiance to him.
The Cherethites, and the Pelethites. These men formed the special bodyguard of David (see on ch. 15:18). They constituted a small body of well-trained men whose loyalty could be absolutely depended upon. To send them out into the battle shows the extreme gravity of the situation, for it would leave David largely unprotected in Jerusalem.
All the mighty men. This was a special body of heroes, men who had particularly distinguished themselves during David’s early days as an outlaw and later as king (see ch. 23:8-39).
