2 Samuel - 18:1 Meaning

ADS-1

“And David numbered the people that were with him, and set captains of thousands and captains of hundreds over them.”

King James Version (KJV)

ADS-2

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

18:1-8 How does David render good for evil! Absalom would have only David smitten; David would have only Absalom spared. This seems to be a resemblance of man's wickedness towards God, and God's mercy to man, of which it is hard to say which is most amazing. Now the Israelites see what it is to take counsel against the Lord and his anointed.

ADS-3

“And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.”
