What Does 2 Samuel 15:35 Mean?
David sets up a line of communication. Hushai will have the priests Zadok and Abiathar with him in the city, and whatever he hears from within the king's house he is to report to them. The priests will form the link in a chain of intelligence reaching back to David.
A network of faithful people takes shape, each placed where they can serve. The plan is careful and coordinated, showing that trusting God does not mean acting carelessly. David knits together friends and priests and sons into one quiet web of loyalty. So the work of God advances through communities of the faithful, each doing a part, each connected to the others, all serving the rightful king together.
