2 Samuel 15:1-12
1 Absalom, by fair speeches and courtesies, steals the hearts of Israel.7 Under pretence of a vow, he obtains leave to go to Hebron.10 He makes there a great conspiracy.13 David upon the news flees from Jerusalem.19 Ittai will not leave him.24 Zadok and Abiathar are sent back with the ark.30 David and his company go up mount Olivet weeping.31 He curses Ahithophel's counsel.32 Hushai is sent back with instructions.

But the Syriac, Arabic, Josephus, Theodoret, the Sixtine edition of the Vulgate, and several MSS. of the same version, read four years; and it is highly probable that {arbâim,} forty, is an error for {arbâ,} four, though not supported by any Hebrew MS. yet discovered. Two of those collated by Dr. Kennicott, however, have {yom,} "day," instead of {shanah,} "year," i.e., forty days instead of forty years; but this is not sufficient to outweigh the other authorities. 13:38; 1Sa 16:1,13let me go.13:24-27pay.1Sa 16:2; Pr 21:27; Isa 58:4; Mt 2:8; 23:14 thy servant.Ge 28:20,21; 1Sa 1:11; 16:2; Ps 56:12; Ec 5:4Geshur.13:37,38; 14:23,32I will serve.Jos 24:15; Isa 28:15; Jer 9:3-5; 42:20 9 spies.13:28; 14:30reigneth.19:10; Job 20:5-29; Ps 73:18,19Hebron.2:1,11; 3:2,3; 5:5; 1Ch 11:3; 12:23,38 called.1Sa 9:13; 16:3-5their simplicity.Ge 20:5; 1Sa 22:15; Pr 14:15; 22:3; Mt 10:16; Ro 16:18,19 Ahithophel.31; 16:20-23; 17:14,23David's.Ps 41:9; 55:12-14; Mic 7:5,6; Joh 13:18Giloh.Jos 15:51while he offered.Nu 23:1,14,30; 1Ki 21:9,12; Ps 50:16-21; Pr 21:27; Isa 1:10-16Tit 1:16the people.Ps 3:1,2; 43:1,2Psalms 36:11

The proud.This metaphor is taken from the mode in which wild beasts are caught in the East: deep pits are dug in the earth, and slightly covered over with reeds, turf, etc., so as not to be discerned from the solid ground; and the animals attempting to walk over them, the surface breaks, they fall in, and are taken alive. Thus the Psalmist's enemies employed craft as well as power in order to effect his ruin. 78; 7:15; 35:7; 36:11; Pr 16:27; Jer 18:20which.58:1,2Psalms 140:5
