2 Samuel 15:32 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Samuel 15:32

30 So David went up by the Ascent of the Mount of Olives, and wept as he went up; and he ^ahad his head covered and went ^bbarefoot. And all the people who were with him ^ccovered their heads and went up, ^dweeping as they went up.

31 Then someone told David, saying, ^a“Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” And David said, “O Lord, I pray, ^bturn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness!”

32 Now it happened when David had come to the top of the mountain, where he worshiped God—there was Hushai the ^aArchite coming to meet him ^bwith his robe torn and dust on his head.

33 David said to him, “If you go on with me, then you will become ^aa burden to me.

34 But if you return to the city, and say to Absalom, ^a‘I will be your servant, O king; as I was your father’s servant previously, so I will now also be your servant,’ then you may defeat the counsel of Ahithophel for me.

35 And do you not have Zadok and Abiathar the priests with you there? Therefore it will be that whatever you hear from the king’s house, you shall tell to ^aZadok and Abiathar the priests.

36 Indeed they have there ^awith them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok’s son, and Jonathan, Abiathar’s son; and by them you shall send me everything you hear.”

37 So Hushai, ^aDavid’s friend, went into the city. ^bAnd Absalom came into Jerusalem.
