Berkatalah Daud kepadanya: "Jika engkau turut dengan aku, maka engkau menjadi beban kepadaku nanti,
Maka titah Daud kepadanya: Jikalau engkau berjalan serta dengan aku, niscaya engkau memberatkan daku kelak.

then thou: 2 Samuel 19:35
Gill's Notes on the Bible
Unto whom David said,.... After he had heard what he had to say, and what tidings he brought:
and if thou passest on with me; in his march and flight:
then thou shalt be a burden to me; being to be maintained by him; and David having but scanty provisions, and so could not receive useless persons, as Hushai might be, perhaps an old man, that could be of no service to him, and unfit for travelling, and so would rather be an hinderance than an help unto him.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Samuel 15:33. Then thou shalt be a burden unto me. — It appears that Hushai was not a warrior, but was a wise, prudent, and discreet man, who could well serve David by gaining him intelligence of Absalom's conspiracy; and he directs him to form a strict confederacy with the priests Zadok and Abiathar, and to make use of their sons as couriers between Jerusalem and David's place of retreat.
