This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Sa_17:5 Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear likewise what he saith.
Ver. 5. Call now Hushai the Archite also.] God had said that David should not die; but Absalom was doomed to death by God’s determined counsel. If Ahithophel’s counsel had been followed, how could David have escaped, or Absalom perished? Hushai, therefore, is consulted, and the whole scene altered. This came forth "from the Lord of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working." {Isa_28:29}
