What Does 2 Samuel 15:36 Mean?

David completes the chain. The priests have their two sons with them, Ahimaaz and Jonathan, who will act as messengers. By these young men, every piece of news that Hushai and the priests gather is to be carried out to David in the wilderness.

Each link in the plan is a person willing to serve at risk, from the seasoned counselor to the swift-footed youths. Faithfulness spans the generations here, the fathers and the sons laboring together for the king. The work of God has always depended on willing hands of every age, the experienced and the young alike, each entrusted with a task. No role in the service of the true King is too small to matter.
