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

2 Samuel 15:1-37Absalom prepared him chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him.Absalom; or, the fast young man The Bible resembles a portrait gallery adorned with the faces of remarkable historic men, where every variety of feature and every type of character may be found. An imaginative person, visiting such a gallery, and gazing at the silent faces which look down upon him from the walls, until lost in the thoughts and reflections awakened by them, may fancy at length that they are... read more

2 Samuel 15:14-24Arise and let us flee. David’s flightThe motive for the flight was probably a patriotic one. David would not, let the city be destroyed by civil war. Like Louis Philippe, he could: not hear to shed his people’s blood. This tenderness of disposition, so unlike the spirit of the times, is characteristic of him. (1 Chronicles 21:17.)1. Notice the different classes of people who went out with the king, displaying different aspects of loyalty.(1) The servants of the household (2... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 2 Samuel 15:13

2Sa 15:13 And there came a messenger to David, saying, The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom. Ver. 13. The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom. ] So little trust there is to be put in the many headed multitude, a dangerous and heady water when once it is out. David had better deserved of this people: but he might now complain, as afterwards Frederick III, Emperor of Germany, did, that he found his good turns were forgotten, his favours ill placed upon those that proved... read more

Ver. 14. Arise, and let us flee. ] And so prevent, what in us lieth, the misery of a civil war, and the sacking of the city.

And David said unto all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us flee; for we shall not else escape from Absalom: make speed to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly, and bring evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword.Let us flee — For though the fort of Zion was strong, and he might have defended himself there; yet he had not laid in provisions for a long siege; and, if he had been once besieged there, Absalom would have got speedy possession of his... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Samuel 15:14

DAVID’S FLIGHT FROM JERUSALEM, 2 Samuel 15:13-30. 14. Arise, and let us flee His deep consciousness of that guilt which brought all this evil upon him unmanned him in the hour of danger, and that mighty warrior, whose sword had subdued all the nations around him, now for the first time turns his back to the foe. But, as Nathan had forewarned him, the evil was in his own house, (2 Samuel 12:11,) and he felt there was no safety for him at his home. read more
