This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Sa_15:13 And there came a messenger to David, saying, The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.
Ver. 13. The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.] So little trust there is to be put in the many headed multitude, a dangerous and heady water when once it is out. David had better deserved of this people: but he might now complain, as afterwards Frederick III, Emperor of Germany, did, that he found his good turns were forgotten, his favours ill placed upon those that proved treacherous. Or rather he might say, as Alphonsus, king of Arragon, since did, that he wondered not so much at his subjects’ ingratitude to him - who had raised various of them from mean to great estates - as at his own to God.
