2 Samuel 16:14 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Came weary. — The sentence seems to require the mention of some place, and the clause “refreshed themselves there” to imply that a place has already been mentioned. The word for weary is, therefore, generally taken as a proper name, Ayephim, which was probably a mere caravansary.

2 Samuel 16:14

14 And the king, and all the people that were with him, came weary, and refreshed themselves there.
