2 Samuel 17:1 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

2 SAMUEL CHAPTER 17 Hushai, David's friend, being, by David's order, gone over to Absalom, by God's appointment overthroweth Ahithophel's counsel, 2 Samuel 17:1-14. Hushai certifieth David thereof, and adviseth him forthwith to march on, 2 Samuel 17:15-21. David passeth over Jordan, 2 Samuel 17:22. Ahithophel hangeth himself, 2 Samuel 17:23. David cometh to Mahanaim: Absalom passeth over Jordan, making Amasa the captain of his host, 2 Samuel 17:21-26. David is there furnished with provisions by his friends, 2 Samuel 17:27-29. I am so well assured of the goodness of this counsel, that I will venture my own person and life in execution of it.
