Commentary
3 notes on this verseThen David arose, and all the people that were with him, and passed over Jordan,.... Taking the advice of Hushai: by the morning light there lacked not one of them that was not gone over Jordan; they travelled all night, and before it was morning they had all passed the river in boats, or through the fords, and not one was lost in the passage, nor any deserted, see Joh 17:12; and now perhaps David penned the forty second and forty third psalms, Psa 42:1.
This site's exposition
there was no one left who had not crossed
David and all the people with him cross the Jordan in the night. The narrator adds, “By daybreak, there was no one left who had not crossed the Jordan”. Matthew Henry sets this beside the word of Jesus that he lost none of those the Father gave him.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
But special notice is taken of this, that there lacked not one of them: none deserted him, though his distress was great, none staid behind sick or weary, nor were any lost or cast away in passing the river. Herein some make him a type of the Messiah, who said, in a difficult day, Of all that thou hast given me have I lost none.
