King James Translators' Notes

his saying: Heb. his word

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

17:1-21 Here was a wonderful effect of Divine Providence blinding Absalom's mind and influencing his heart, that he could not rest in Ahithophel's counsel, and that he should desire Hushai's advice. But there is no contending with that God who can arm a man against himself, and destroy him by his own mistakes and passions. Ahithophel's former counsel was followed, for God intended to correct David; but his latter counsel was 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.


2 Samuel 17:5 Then Absalom said, "Now call Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear what he has to say."
2 Samuel 17:7 So Hushai said to Absalom, "This time the advice that Ahithophel has given is not good." (NASB ©1995)
