SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:27
Dijo aún el rey a Sadoc sacerdote: ¿No eres tú el vidente? Vuélvete en paz a la ciudad; y con vosotros vuestros dos hijos, tu hijo Ahimaas, y Jonatán hijo de Abiatar.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 15:27
Verse 27. Art not thou a seer? return into the city in peace] That is, As thou art the only organ of the public worship, that worship cannot be carried on without thee; and as thou art the priest of God, thou hast no cause to fear for thy personal safety: the nation has not abandoned their God, though they have abandoned their king. It appears also, that he wished these priests, by means of their sons, Ahimaaz the son of Zadok, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar, to send him frequent intelligence of the motions and operations of the enemy.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 27. And the king said unto Zadok the priest, [art not] thou a seer ? etc.] A prophet, as well as a priest; (see 1 Samuel 9:9); or a seeing, knowing, man; one that can penetrate into men and things, and so might be of more service to David at Jerusalem than with him: wherefore he said to him, return into the city in peace ; to the city of Jerusalem with peace, quietness, and satisfaction of mind; where he doubted not, at least hoped and wished, he would be in safety and prosperity, being one of the Lord’s priests: and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar ; the one was of the line of Eleazar, and the other of the line of Ithamar.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 24-30 - David is very careful for the safety of the ark. It is right to be mor concerned for the church's prosperity than our own; to prefer the success of the gospel above our own wealth, credit, ease, and safety Observe with what satisfaction and submission David speaks of the Divine disposal. It is our interest, as well as our duty, cheerfully to acquiesce in the will of God, whatever befalls us. Let us see God' hand in all events; and that we may not be afraid of what shall be, le us see all events in God's hand. David's sin was ever before him, P 51:3; but never so plain, nor ever appearing so black as now. He neve wept thus when Saul hunted him, but a wounded conscience makes trouble lie heavy, Ps 38:4.
