    2 Samuel 17

    The contest between David and Absalom is now hasting towards a crisis. It must be determined by the sword, and preparation is made accordingly in this chapter. I. Absalom calls a council of war, in which Ahithophel urges despatch (2 Samuel 17:1-17:4), but Hushai recommends deliberation (2 Samuel 17:5-17:13); and Hushai’s counsel is agreed to (2 Samuel 17:14), for vexation at which Ahithophel hangs himself, 2 Samuel 17:23. II. Secret intelligence is sent to David (but with much difficulty) of their proceedings, 2 Samuel 17:15-17:21. III. David marches to the other side Jordan (2 Samuel 17:22-17:24), and there his camp is victualled by some of his friends in that country, 2 Samuel 17:27-17:29. IV. Absalom and his forces march after him into the land of Gilead on the other side Jordan, 2 Samuel 17:25, 17:26. There we shall, in the next chapter, find the cause decided by a battle: hitherto, every thing has looked black upon poor David, but now the day of his deliverance begins to dawn.MHBCC 285.1
