G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Samuel 15:1-37

That Absalom's attitude of obeisance before David was feigned is proved by his conspiracy. That Joab cared nothing personally for Absalom is evident from his refusal to see him any further. Absalom's cunning is manifested in that he waited and plotted four years, ever attempting to turn the heart of the people toward himself. His unscrupulousness, moreover, was shown in that when everything was ripe for action, he proceeded to the overt act of rebellion under cover of religious observance. ... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Samuel 15:32-37

YHWH Answers David’s Prayer In The Person Of Hushai The Archite (2 Samuel 15:32-37 ). Having prayed that YHWH would turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness in the eyes of Absalom, David made his way to the top of the Mount ‘where God was worshipped’ and there before his very eyes he saw the almost instant answer to his prayers in Hushai the Archite, his loyal and faithful counsellor who was known as ‘the King’s Friend’. Here if anywhere was the solution to his problem. For Hushai too... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 2 Samuel 15:1-37

CRITICAL AND EXPOSITORY NOTES. 2 Samuel 15:1. “After this.” Keil, Erdmann and Thenius attach the idea of immediateness to the Hebrew adverb here used, but other scholars consider this doubtful. The word occurs only here, in 2 Samuel 3:28, and in 2 Chronicles 32:23, and its precise meaning cannot therefore be determined by usage. “Chariots,” i.e., “a state carriage.” (Keil.) “Fifty men.” “These runners are accustomed to precede the equipage of persons of distinction in Oriental countries. They... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 15:1-37

Chapter 15And Absalom went out from the gate of the city, and when people would come from Israel to bring a matter for judgment, he would say, Oh what a shame that my father wouldn't appoint me as judge in Israel, because I could judge in these matters. You come to see my dad, he's so busy, he hasn't got time to see anybody. But bring the matter to me, let me judge it for you. And the people would start to bow to him, and he'd take them by the hand, and he'd kiss their hands ( 2 Samuel 15:2-6... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 2 Samuel 15:1-37

2 Samuel 15:7 . After forty years. Some contend that this refers to the time when David was secretly anointed; but as no other record is dated from that time, Josephus seems right in saying “four years” instead of forty. Most critics are agreed that four has been mis-written forty. 2 Samuel 15:25 . Carry back the ark of God. Here is a noble mind, a mind great in adversity, and prudent in all his measures. This sorest stroke that ever befel David called all his powers into action, and... read more
