Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Samuel 15:3

To flatter each man by pronouncing a favorable verdict in his case, to excite a sense of grievance and discontent by censuring the king for remissness in trying the causes brought before him by his subjects, and to suggest a sure and easy remedy for all such grievances, namely, to make Absalom king; all this, coupled with great affability and courtesy, which his personal beauty and high rank made all the more effective, were the arts by which Absalom worked his way into favor with the people,... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 2 Samuel 15:1

2 Samuel 15:1. Absalom prepared him chariots, &c. When he thought he had established himself in his father’s good affection, he began to take great state upon him, set up, as we now speak, a splendid equipage, and was royally attended, as being the king’s eldest son, (now Amnon was dead,) and next heir to the crown. For it seems Chileab, who was elder than he, 2 Samuel 3:3, was either dead also, or, through some cause, was incapable of the government. Absalom undoubtedly designed, by... read more

2 Samuel 15:2. Absalom rose up early He accustomed himself to rise betimes in the morning, that he might make a show of solicitude for the good of the public, and of every private person. When any man came to the king for judgment The king, it appears, reserved all weighty causes for his own hearing; and appeals were made to him from the other courts. Absalom called to him Preventing him with the offers of his assistance. And, as if he were ready to make particular inquiry into the... read more

2 Samuel 15:3. Absalom said, See, thy matters are good and right Upon some very slight hearing of any man’s cause he approved of it, that he might oblige him; flattering all that they had right on their side, so that, if their causes should go against them, they might conclude, if Absalom had been judge, it would have been otherwise. There is no man deputed of the king to hear thee None that will do thee justice. The other sons and relations of the king, and the rest of the judges and... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 15:1-37

Absalom’s rebellion (15:1-37)By cunning and deceit over the next few years, Absalom strengthened his position and gathered himself a following, mainly among the people of Judah’s country regions. He encouraged a feeling of dissatisfaction with David’s administration and promised a better deal for the common people if he were in a position of authority (15:1-6).Clearly, Absalom was plotting to seize the throne. It appears that he relied for the success of his rebellion upon the personal support... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 2 Samuel 15:1

ABSALOM KICKED OFF HIS REBELLION AGAINST DAVIDPromptly upon his being restored to favor by the king, Absalom initiated his campaign to seize the throne. It is hard to understand why David did not understand what Absalom was doing and terminate it, but he seems never to have been suspicious of Absalom's activities until his rebellious son had himself anointed king in Hebron.ABSALOM'S CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE KING"After this Absalom got himself a chariot and horses, and fifty men to run before him.... read more
