Context of 2 Samuel 17:22

20Absalom's men came to the house. They asked the woman, ‘Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?’ The woman answered, ‘They went across the stream.’ Absalom's men looked everywhere for them, but they did not find them. So they returned to Jerusalem. 21After the men had gone, Ahimaaz and Jonathan climbed out of the well. Then they took the message to David. They said to him, ‘You must go across the river immediately. Ahithophel has told Absalom how he can catch you here.’ So David and all the people who were with him went across the Jordan River. When dawn came, they had all gone across to the other side. 23Ahithophel realized that Absalom had not agreed to his advice. So he got on his donkey and he went home to his own town. He told his family what he needed to tell them. Then he hanged himself. He died and his family buried him in his father's grave. 24David arrived at Mahanaim with his men. Absalom and Israel's army went across the Jordan River.

Commentaries on 2 Samuel 17:22

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 22-29Verses 22-29 Ahithophel hanged himself for vexation that his counsel was not followed. That will break a proud man's heart which will not break a humble man's sleep. He thought himself in danger, concluding, that, because his counsel was not followed, Absalom's cause would fail; and to prevent a possible public execution, he does justice upon himself.
