What Does 2 Samuel 16:15 Mean?
The scene shifts back to the city. Absalom arrives in Jerusalem at the head of the men of Israel, and with him comes Ahithophel, the gifted counselor who has defected to the rebellion.
The throne David left stands open, and the usurper walks in. Yet the reader knows what Absalom does not: a kingdom seized by treachery rests on no sure foundation. God's anointed has departed for a season, but the purposes of heaven are not overthrown by a day's triumph of the rebel.
