SEV Biblia, Chapter 17:18
Pero fueron vistos por un joven, el cual lo dijo a Absalón; sin embargo los dos se dieron prisa a caminar, y llegaron a casa de un hombre en Bahurim, que tenía un pozo en su patio, dentro del cual ellos descendieron.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 18. Nevertheless, a lad saw them, and told Absalom , etc.] Saw them conversing with the girl, and departing for David’s army; according to Josephus f288 , they were some horsemen that saw them about two furlongs or a quarter mile from Jerusalem, and acquainted Absalom with it: but they went both of them away quickly ; made all the haste they could with their message to David: and came to a man’s house in Bahurim ; where very probably they had been informed David had been, whither he came weary, and had refreshment, ( 2 Samuel 16:14); or rather, perceiving they were discovered and pursued, they turned in hither, the first place they came to, for safety: which had a well in his court ; which they observed, and was the reason of their turning in: whither they went down ; to hide themselves from their pursuers, it being dry, as sometimes wells were in the summertime: Josephus says f289 , a woman let them down by a rope.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-21 - Here was a wonderful effect of Divine Providence blinding Absalom' mind and influencing his heart, that he could not rest in Ahithophel' counsel, and that he should desire Hushai's advice. But there is n contending with that God who can arm a man against himself, and destro him by his own mistakes and passions. Ahithophel's former counsel wa followed, for God intended to correct David; but his latter counsel wa not followed, for God meant not to destroy him. He can overrule all counsels. Whatever wisdom or help any man employs or affords, the success is from God alone, who will not let his people perish.
