This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Sa_15:34 But if thou return to the city, and say unto Absalom, I will be thy servant, O king; [as] I [have been] thy father’s servant hitherto, so [will] I now also [be] thy servant: then mayest thou for me defeat the counsel of Ahithophel.
Ver. 34. And say unto Absalom, I will be thy servant, O king.] Here David teacheth Hushai at the best ambiguo sermone ludificari, to mock Absalom with ambiguities, if not to dissemble with him. It is an easy thing, saith a grave interpreter {a} here, for the best men in their extremities to settle upon such counsels as are not exactly such as they ought to be.
{a} Mr Jackson.
