SPURGEON (1834-1892) "And Ittai answered the king, and said, As the Lord liveth, and as my lord the king liveth, surely in what place my lord the king shall be, whether in death or life, even there also will thy servant be." 2 Samuel 15:21 . Although the courage of David appears to have failed him when he fled from his son Absalom, yet certain other noble characteristics came out in brilliant relief, and among the rest,... 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

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

2 Samuel 15:17And the king went forth and tarried in a place which was far off. ExpatriationFar up and far back in the history of heaven there came a period when its Most Illustrious Citizen was about to absent Himself. He was not going to sail from beach to beach. He was not going to put out from one hemisphere to another hemisphere. But He was to sail from world to world, the spaces unexplored and the immensities untravelled. Out and out and out, and on and on and on, and down and down and... read more

2 Samuel 15:19Ittai the Gittite. Ittai the GittiteIttai of Gath was not only a heathen but a heathen of the heathens, a member of a race the most malignant of all the foes of the Church. Yet among the events of this day--a day over which the historian fondly if sadly lingers, more minutely and at greater length described than any other day of Old Testament history--an episode of which he is the hero finds a prominent place. It is not much we can know about him; but what we can that we desire to... read more

2 Samuel 15:23And all the country wept with a loud voice.The way of the CrossNotice the weeping people. (Luke 23:27-31.) David’s experience at this time contains many foreshadowings of the passion of our Lord, but also some contrasts, as the conduct of the priesthood. (Verse 24 compared with John 18:13; John 18:24.)I. The ark sent back. In this incident David’s character rises to its height of moral grandeur. The ark was the symbol of God’s presence. (1 Samuel 4:1-11.) The Israelites in Eli’s... read more

2 Samuel 15:25-26And the king said unto Zadok, Carry back the ark of God unto the city. David’s dependenceTaking David’s conduct as an example to ourselves, we have brought before us the following truths:--I.true Godliness engages the soul’s supreme attention, even in time of trial.1. It draws the thoughts away from self. Dwelling on sorrow increases its bitterness. It grows with observation. We concentrate our mind upon a thing until it becomes far larger than it really is.2. It fills the void... read more

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
