SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:34
mas si volvieres a la ciudad, y dijeres a Absalón: Rey, yo seré tu siervo; como hasta aquí he sido siervo de tu padre, así seré ahora siervo tuyo, entonces tú me disiparás el consejo de Ahitofel.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 34. But if thou return to the city , etc.] To the city of Jerusalem, from whence it seems he came: and say unto Absalom, I will be thy servant, O king ; as he was by usurpation, and by the proclamation of the people with him. David directs him to address him thus, that he might have no suspicion of him, having been an old friend of his: [as] I [have been] thy father’s servant hitherto ; perhaps in the character of a counsellor, as it should seem, since as such he was afterwards employed by Absalom: so [will] I now also [be] thy servant ; in whatsoever thou shall please to employ me under thee: then mayest thou for me defeat the counsel of Ahithophel ; for being taken into Absalom’s service, and made one of his counsellors, he would be privy to the advice of Ahithophel, and so be able to work against him.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 31-37 - David prays not against Ahithophel's person, but against his counsel He prayed this, in firm belief that God has all hearts in his hand, an tongues also. But we must second our prayers with endeavours, and Davi did so, else we tempt God. But we do not find wisdom and simplicity s united in any mere man, that we can perceive nothing which need forgiveness. Yet, when the Son of David was treated with all possibl treachery and cruelty, his wisdom, meekness, candour, and patience were perfect. Him let us follow, cleave to, and serve, in life and in death __________________________________________________________________
