Theological / Devotional

How are they increased! Absalom had a large following. Nearly all Israel had revolted (see 2 Sam. 15–17, especially 15:6, 13).

That rise up against me. Similar to the expression used by the Cushite who brought the tidings to David of the failure of Absalom’s defection (see 2 Sam. 18:31, 32).
