Gill's Notes on the Bible
And in this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the king for judgment,.... Told them there was none to be had, wished that he was in office to administer it to them, and behaved in the above loving manner towards them:
so Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel; got the affections of the people in a private and clandestine manner, and robbed the king of them, who had the best right unto them.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Stole the hearts - i. e., deceived them, for so the same phrase means Genesis 31:20, Genesis 31:26.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Samuel 15:6. So Absalom stole the hearts — His manner of doing this is circumstantially related above. He was thoroughly versed in the arts of the demagogue; and the common people, the vile mass, heard him gladly. He used the patriot's arguments, and was every thing of the kind, as far as promise could go. He found fault with men in power; and he only wanted their place, like all other pretended patriots, that he might act as they did, or worse.
