¹ Ahithophel also said vnto Absalom: Let me choose out now twelue thousand men, and I wil vp and folowe after Dauid this night: ² And I wil come vpo him whyle he is weery and weake handed, and will feare him: And all the people that are with him, shall flee, and so will I smite the king only, ³ And wil bring againe all the people vnto thee: and when al shall returne, the man whom thou sekest [beyng slayne] all the people shalbe in peace. ⁴ And the saying pleased Absalom wel and al the elders of Israel. ⁵ Then sayde Absalom: Cal nowe Husai the Arachite also, and let vs heare lykewyse what he sayth. ⁶ When Husai was come to Absalom, Absalom spake vnto him, saying: Ahithophel hath geuen such counsel: Shal we do after his saying, or no? tell thou. ⁷ Husai aunswered vnto Absalom: The counsel that Ahithophel hath geuen, is not good at this time. ⁸ For sayde Husai, thou knowest thy father & his men howe that they be strong men, and they be chased in their mindes, and are euen as a Beare robbed of her whelpes in the fielde: Thy father is a man also practised in warre, and wil not lodge with the people. ⁹ Behold he is hyd nowe in some caue, or in some other place: And though some of his men be ouerthrowen at the first brunt, yet they that heare it, will say: The people that foloweth Absalom, be put to the worse. ¹⁰ And he also that is valiaunt, whose heart is as ye heart of a Lio, shal shrink and faynt: For all Israel knoweth, that thy father is a mightie man, and they which be with him are stout men.

in some place: 1 Samuel 23:23

we will light: This is a very beautiful and expressive figure. The dew in Palestine, and other warm climates, falls fast, sudden, and heavy; and it falls upon every spot of earth, so that not a blade of grass escapes it. It is therefore no inapt emblem of a numerous and active army; and it was, perhaps, for this reason that the Romans called their light armed forces rorarii. 1 Kings 20:10, 2 Kings 18:23, 2 Kings 19:24, Isaiah 10:13, Isaiah 10:14, Obadiah 1:3

Gill's Notes on the Bible

and of him, and of all the men that [are] with him, there shall not be left so much as one; so that for the future Absalom would sit easy upon the throne, there being none left to molest him.

n Valtrinus de Milit. Roman. l. 3. c. 3.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
