- 2 Samuel 15:32–37
When David came to the summit, where he used to worship God, Hushai the Archite was there to meet him with his robe torn and dust on his head.
Commentary on 2 Samuel 15:32–372 voices
Where he worshipped God - Though in danger of his life, he stops on the top of Mount Olivet for prayer! How true is the adage, Prayer and provender never hinder any man’s journey! Reader, dost thou do likewise? Hushai the Archite - He was the particular friend of David, and was now greatly affected by his calamity.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the BibleEvangelical
Note, Weeping must not hinder worshipping, but quicken it rather. Now he penned the third Psalm , as appears by the title; and some think that his singing this was the worship he now paid to God.
Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710Puritan
- 2 Samuel 16:16–19
And David’s friend Hushai the Archite went to Absalom and said to him, “Long live the king! Long live the king!”
Commentary on 2 Samuel 16:16–192 voices
Professing, however, with great address, to consider it his duty to support the cause which the course of Providence and the national will had seemingly decreed should triumph, and urging his friendship for the father as a ground of confidence in his fidelity to the son, he persuaded Absalom of his sincerity, and was admitted among the councillors of the new king.
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871Reformed
What arts of dissimulation are those tempted to use who govern themselves by fleshly wisdom! and how happy are those who have not known these depths of Satan, but have their conversation in the world with simplicity and godly sincerity! Absalom was surprised to find him for him who was known to be David's intimate friend and confidant.
Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710Puritan
- 2 Samuel 17:1
Furthermore, Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Let me choose twelve thousand men and set out tonight in pursuit of David.
Commentary on 2 Samuel 17:12 voices
But his dexterity was chiefly displayed in that part of his counsel which recommended a general levy throughout the country; and that Absalom should take command of it in person--thereby flattering at once the pride and ambition of the usurper. The bait was caught by the vainglorious and wicked prince.
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871Reformed
This night - The night of the day on which David fled, and Absalom entered into Jerusalem. Ahithophel’s idea was to fall upon David by surprise, and in the first confusion of the surprised army to seize and kill David only.
Albert Barnes· Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)Evangelical
- 1 Chronicles 27:33
Ahithophel was the king’s counselor. Hushai the Archite was the king’s friend.
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 27:331 voice
Counsellor - The person whose counsel in matters of state the king most prized and followed. Companion - Or his friend, 2 Sam. xv, 37, the person whom he trusted with his secrets, and whose conversation was most pleasant and acceptable to him. Observe, A cunning man was his counsellor: but an honest man was his friend.
