Contextual Overview

¹⁵ Meanwhile, Absalom, Ahithophel, and all the Israelites arrived at Jerusalem. ¹⁶ David's friend Hushai the Arkite came to Absalom and said to him, "Long live the king! Long live the king!" ¹⁷ Absalom asked, "Why are you not loyal to your friend David? Why didn't you leave Jerusalem with your friend?" ¹⁸ Hushai said, "I belong to the one chosen by the Lord and by these people and everyone in Israel. I will stay with you. ¹⁹ In the past I served your father. So whom should I serve now? David's son! I will serve you as I served him." ²⁰ Absalom said to Ahithophel, "Tell us what we should do." ²¹ Ahithophel said, "Your father left behind some of his slave women to take care of the palace. Have sexual relations with them. Then all Israel will hear that your father is your enemy, and all your people will be encouraged to give you more support." ²² So they put up a tent for Absalom on the roof of the palace where everyone in Israel could see it. And Absalom had sexual relations with his father's slave women. ²³ At that time people thought Ahithophel's advice was as reliable as God's own word. Both David and Absalom thought it was that reliable.

as if: Numbers 27:21, 1 Samuel 30:8, Psalms 28:2, 1 Peter 4:11

oracle of God: Heb. word of God, Psalms 19:7

so was: The first counsel of this sagacious but wicked man to Absalom was more like an oracle of Satan, both for subtlety and atrocity. He advised the shameless measure just detailed, in order to establish Absalom, and to preclude the possibility of a reconciliation with David. The wives of a conquered king were always the property of the conqueror; and in possessing these he appeared to possess the right to the kingdom.

all the counsel: 2 Samuel 17:14, 2 Samuel 17:23, Job 5:12, Job 28:28, Jeremiah 4:22, Jeremiah 8:9, Matthew 11:25, Luke 16:8, Romans 1:22, 1 Corinthians 3:19, 1 Corinthians 3:20, James 3:13-18

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he had counselled in those days,.... Both in the days of David, and in the days of Absalom, before and since the rebellion:

[was] as if a man had inquired of the oracle of God; such an opinion was entertained of it, so well satisfied were they with it, and as confident of success in taking it, as if the Lord himself had been consulted by Urim and Thummim; this is a very great exaggeration of Ahithophel's counsel, and is observed as a reason why it was so readily taken, though so bad in the preceding instance:

so [was] all the counsel of Ahithophel, both with David and with Absalom; Ahithophel was a crafty man, a time server, that temporized with princes, and knew how to suit his counsels with their tempers and interests: to David he gave good counsel, what was acceptable with him, and to Absalom bad counsel, which was pleasing to him.
