撒母耳记下 17:4 CUVS

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Samuel 17:1-14

Hushai The Archite Counters The Advice Of Ahithophel (2 Samuel 17:1-14 ). We are now to learn the wisdom of David, and of YHWH (2 Samuel 17:14), in sending Hushai the Archite to combat and counter the wisdom of Ahithophel. Ahithophel’s advice might be almost parallel to that of the oracle of God, but YHWH’s wisdom was seen to be even greater, with the result that He overturned the counsel of Ahithophel. Ahithophel’s advice was that he himself should immediately gather a fairly small but... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Samuel 17:1-14

2 Samuel 17:1-2 Chronicles : . Ahithophel advises the instant pursuit and capture of David. “ I,” he says, “ will bring back all the people unto thee, as a bride returns to her husband; thou seekest the life of only one man, there shall be peace for all the people” ; read 2 Samuel 17:3 thus with LXX. Hushai advised delay, till an overwhelming force could be gathered which would overcome any possible resistance. Yahweh makes Absalom follow Hushai’ s counsel, to his own ruin. read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 17:1-29

Last week we left David in very sad shape. His son Absalom had rebelled against him, had gone down to Hebron and had gathered Israel to his support, who he had gradually been enticing away from his father. When he felt that he had enough strength, he announced his kingdom, and began moving with his troops towards Jerusalem.David, rather than having a direct confrontation with his son Absalom, began to flee from Jerusalem with a great company of people with him. Leaving the city of Jerusalem,... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 2 Samuel 17:1-29

2 Samuel 17:17 . En-rogel was near Jerusalem. Joshua 15:7-8. 2 Samuel 17:21 . Thus hath Ahithophel counselled. This disclosure of Absalom’s plans saved David from being surprised, and drove him across the Jordan, where he received strength in Gilead, and supplies from Shobi, viceroy of the Ammonites. In this case wisdom was more than might. The royal person is safer to be surrounded with pious men, than with an assembly of atheists. 2 Samuel 17:25 . Amasa, whose mother was David’s... read more
