Context of 2 Samuel 17:22

20Absalom’s servants came to the woman at her home. “Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?” they asked. The woman said, “They’ve crossed the stream.” The servants looked for them but did not find them. So Absalom’s servants returned to Jerusalem. 21After Absalom’s servants left, both men came out of the cistern and went and told King David. “Leave right away,” they told David. “Cross the river quickly because this is what Ahithophel has advised against you. …” David and all the troops with him left to cross the Jordan River. When the dawn came, everyone had crossed the Jordan River. 23When Ahithophel saw that his advice hadn’t been followed, he saddled his donkey, left, and went home to his own city. He gave instructions to his family. Then he hanged himself, died, and was buried in his father’s tomb. 24David had ⌞already⌟ come to Mahanaim by the time Absalom and all the men of Israel with him crossed 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.
