Contextual Overview

¹³ A messenger came to David, saying, "The Israelites are giving their loyalty to Absalom." ¹⁴ Then David said to all his officers who were with him in Jerusalem, "We must leave quickly! If we don't, we won't be able to get away from Absalom. We must hurry before he catches us and destroys us and kills the people of Jerusalem." ¹⁵ The king's officers said to him, "We will do anything you say." ¹⁶ The king set out with everyone in his house, but he left ten slave women to take care of the palace. ¹⁷ The king left with all his people following him, and they stopped at a house far away. ¹⁸ All the king's servants passed by him—the Kerethites and Pelethites, all those from Gath, and the six hundred men who had followed him. ¹⁹ The king said to Ittai, a man from Gath, "Why are you also going with us? Turn back and stay with King Absalom because you are a foreigner. This is not your homeland. ²⁰ You joined me only a short time ago. Should I make you wander with us when I don't even know where I'm going? Turn back and take your brothers with you. May kindness and loyalty be shown to you." ²¹ But Ittai said to the king, "As surely as the Lord lives and as you live, I will stay with you, whether it means life or death." ²² David said to Ittai, "Go, march on." So Ittai from Gath and all his people with their children marched on.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And there came a messenger to David,.... Perhaps one of the two hundred that went with Absalom, ignorant of his design; which, when discovered, he disapproved of, and got away from him, and came to David, and informed him how things were:

saying, the hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom; to make him king.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Samuel 15:13. The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom. — It is very difficult to account for this general defection of the people. Several reasons are given:

1. David was old or afflicted, and could not well attend to the administration of justice in the land.

2. It does appear that the king did not attend to the affairs of state, and that there were no properly appointed judges in the land; see 2 Samuel 15:3.

3. Joab's power was overgrown; he was wicked and insolent, oppressive to the people, and David was afraid to execute the laws against him.

4. There were still some partisans of the house of Saul, who thought the crown not fairly obtained by David.

5. David was under the displeasure of the Almighty, for his adultery with Bath-sheba, and his murder of Uriah; and God let his enemies loose against him.

6. There are always troublesome and disaffected men in every state, and under every government; who can never rest, and are ever hoping for something from a change.

7. Absalom appeared to be the real and was the undisputed heir to the throne; David could not, in the course of nature, live very long; and most people are more disposed to hail the beams of the rising, than exult in those of the setting, sun. No doubt some of these causes operated, and perhaps most of them exerted less or more influence in this most scandalous business.
