Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Hushai said to Absalom,.... In answer to his questions:

nay, but whom the Lord, and his people, and all the men of Israel choose: here again he speaks very ambiguously; for this circumlocution, or descriptive character of the king of Israel, better agrees with David, whom he might bear in mind, than with Absalom; for the Lord had chosen David, and he was anointed by his order, and all the people of Israel had chosen and anointed him likewise; but as for Absalom, it was only a part of them that had declared for him, nor was there any evidence of the Lord's choosing him; though Hushai undoubtedly would be under stood of him, and as interpreting the voice of the people to be the voice of God:

his will I be, and with him will I abide; though he designed no such thing, which was a great piece of dissimulation and hypocrisy; and if he meant David, it was a piece of deceit and equivocation: there is a various reading in the first clause; we follow the marginal reading,

לו, "to him" or "his", but the textual reading is לא, "not": and both may be taken in by rendering the words by an interrogation, "shall I, or should I not be his" d? I will; that is, be his servant, faithfully obey his commands, be closely attached to him, and continue with him as a loyal subject.

d לא אהיה "non ero", Montanus; "non essem ejus?" Junius & Tremellius.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Samuel 16:18. Whom the Lord and this people - choose — Here is an equivocation; Hushai meant in his heart that God and all the people of Israel had chosen David; but he spake so as to make Absalom believe that he spoke of him: for whatever of insincerity may appear in this, Hushai is alone answerable. What he says afterwards may be understood in the same way.
