2 SAMUEL CHAPTER 15
Absalom stealeth the hearts of Israel, 2Sa_15:1-6. Under pretence of a vow obtaineth leave to go to Hebron: there with Ahithophel’s aid he conspires to be king, 2Sa_15:7-12. David fleeth from Jerusalem with all his men; leaveth ten of his concubines, 2Sa_15:13-37.
As being the king’s eldest son, now Amnon was dead; for Chileab, who was his eldest brother, 2Sa_3:3, was either dead, or manifestly incapable of the government. And this course he knew would draw the eyes and minds of people to him, and make them conclude that David intended him for his successor.
