Contextual Overview

⁷ After four years Absalom said to King David, "Please let me go to Hebron. I want to carry out my promise that I made to the Lord ⁸ while I was living in Geshur in Aram. I said, ‘If the Lord takes me back to Jerusalem, I will worship him in Hebron.'" ⁹ The king said, "Go in peace." So Absalom went to Hebron. ¹⁰ But he sent secret messengers through all the tribes of Israel. They told the people, "When you hear the trumpets, say this: ‘Absalom is the king at Hebron!'" ¹¹ Absalom had invited two hundred men to go with him. So they went from Jerusalem with him, but they didn't know what he was planning. ¹² While Absalom was offering sacrifices, he sent for Ahithophel, one of the people who advised David, to come from his hometown of Giloh. So Absalom's plans were working very well. More and more people began to support him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And with Absalom went two hundred men out of Jerusalem, [that were] called,.... Invited by him to go with him and partake of his peace offerings, as the payment of his vow in Hebron; part of which was made a feast of for his friends, whomsoever he should think fit to invite, as he did to the number of two hundred, and for the entertainment of whom a large provision ought to be made; the Jews h have a tradition, that he had leave of his father only to invite two to go with him, and that he asked two more unknown to the first, and so on, two after two, until they amounted to two hundred:

and they went in their simplicity; to partake of the feast of the peace offerings, to which they were invited; being quite harmless and upright in their intentions, having no thought of disloyalty and rebellion in their breasts:

and they knew not anything; of an intended conspiracy; howbeit, doubtless many of them were drawn into it when got thither; and as these may be supposed to be some of the principal men of Jerusalem, it was a great weakening of David's interest, and laid a considerable foundation for Absalom to begin upon.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Samuel 15:11. Went two hundred men — These were probably soldiers, whom he supposed would be of considerable consequence to him. They had been seduced by his specious conduct, but knew nothing of his present design.
