Context of 2 Samuel 15:32
30But David went up by the ascent of the Olives, and wept as he went up, and had his head covered, and he went barefoot; and all the people that was with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up. 31And one told David saying, Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom. Then said David, Jehovah, I pray thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness. And it came to pass, when David had come to the summit, where he worshipped God, that behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat rent, and earth upon his head. 33And David said to him, If thou passest on with me, thou wilt be a burden to me; 34but if thou return to the city, and say to Absalom, I will be thy servant, O king; as I have been thy father's servant hitherto, so now will I be thy servant; then mayest thou for me defeat the counsel of Ahithophel.

Commentaries on 2 Samuel 15:32
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 32Where 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.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 32Render “when David was come to the top of the mount where people worship God.” The top here, and in 2 Samuel 16:1, is used almost as a proper name. No doubt there was a high-place upon the top of the Mount of Olives.Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 31-37Verses 31-37 David prays not against Ahithophel's person, but against his counsel. He prayed this, in firm belief that God has all hearts in his hand, and tongues also. But we must second our prayers with endeavours, and David did so, else we tempt God. But we do not find wisdom and simplicity so united in any mere man, that we can perceive nothing which needs forgiveness. Yet, when the Son of David was treated with all possible treachery and cruelty, his…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 32At this point in Israel’s history, people worshiped God at multiple altars across the land. The tabernacle, which had been around since the time of Joshua and Samuel, no longer existed. The temple had not yet been built. An Arkite was possibly a non-Israelite from the region south of Bethel (Joshua 16:2).Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 3232. when David was come to the top of the mount, where he worshipped--looking towards Jerusalem, where were the ark and tabernacle. Hushai the Archite--A native of Archi, on the frontiers of Benjamin and Ephraim (Jos 16:2). Comparing the prayer against Ahithophel with the counsel to Hushai, we see how strongly a spirit of fervent piety was combined in his character with the devices of an active and far-seeing policy.Read the comment
