VERSE (17) -
De 32:6

SEV Biblia, Chapter 16:17

Y Absalón dijo a Husai: ¿Este es tu agradecimiento para con tu amigo? ¿Por qué no fuiste con tu amigo?

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 17. And
Absalom said to Hushai, [is] this thy kindness to thy friend ? etc.] Meaning to David; though he would not mention his name, nor his title, nor even the relation of a father he stood in to him, only speaks of him as Hushai’s friend: Hushai had professed great friendship to David, and David had been a friend to Hushai, had raised him to great honour in making him a counsellor, and had bestowed many favours and benefits on him, as Absalom knew full well; and therefore, to try his integrity, he puts this question, not as displeased with him, but overjoyed that such a trusty friend of David, and a wise counsellor of his, had deserted him, and come over to him and his party; nor does he mean to charge him with ingratitude, which he could not do without reproaching himself; on whom it might be justly retorted, is this thy kindness to thy father that begot thee, and has always expressed such a strong affection for thee, as to rebel against him? why wentest thou not with thy friend ? with David, when he went out of Jerusalem; for Absalom knew not that Hushai had been with David, but thought he stayed behind at Jerusalem, when David fled, which made him less suspicious of him.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 15-23 - The
wisest counsellors of that age were Ahithophel and Hushai: Absalo thinks himself sure of success, when he has both; on them he relies and consults not the ark, though he had that with him. But miserabl counsellors were they both. Hushai would never counsel him to d wisely. Ahithophel counselled him to do wickedly; and so did a effectually betray him, as he did, who was designedly false to him: for they that advise men to sin, certainly advise them to their hurt. Afte all, honesty is the best policy, and will be found so in the long run Ahithophel gave wicked counsel to Absalom; to render himself so hatefu to his father, that he would never be reconciled to him; this curse policy was of the devil. How desperately wicked is the human heart __________________________________________________________________
