2 Samuel 17:1 Summary

[In this verse, Ahithophel is advising Absalom to attack King David with a large army while David is weak and weary. This plan is based on human strength and strategy, rather than trusting in God's sovereignty. As Christians, we can learn from this example by remembering to trust in God's plan, rather than our own strength, as stated in Proverbs 3:5-6 and Jeremiah 29:11. By doing so, we can find peace and rest in the midst of challenging circumstances.]

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Ahithophel and why is he advising Absalom?

Ahithophel is one of King David's advisors who has defected to Absalom's side, as seen in 2 Samuel 15:12, and is now advising him on how to defeat his father, King David, as stated in 2 Samuel 17:1.

Why does Ahithophel want to pursue David with twelve thousand men?

Ahithophel wants to pursue David with a large army to take advantage of David's current weakness and catch him off guard, as stated in 2 Samuel 17:1-2, similar to how the Bible warns us to be aware of our spiritual weaknesses in 1 Peter 5:8.

Is Ahithophel's plan a good strategy from a military perspective?

From a military perspective, Ahithophel's plan to attack David while he is weak and weary may seem like a good strategy, but it ultimately relies on human strength rather than trusting in God's sovereignty, as seen in Proverbs 21:31 and 2 Samuel 17:14.

How does this verse relate to the rest of the story in 2 Samuel?

This verse is a pivotal moment in the story of 2 Samuel, as it sets the stage for the battle between David and Absalom, and ultimately, the fate of the kingdom, as seen in 2 Samuel 18:1-19:8, and serves as a reminder of the importance of trusting in God's plan, as stated in Jeremiah 29:11.

Reflection Questions

  1. What are some times in my life when I have felt weak and weary, and how did I respond to those challenges?
  2. How can I apply the lesson of trusting in God's sovereignty, rather than my own strength, to my current circumstances?
  3. What are some ways that I can be aware of my spiritual weaknesses and take steps to protect myself from spiritual attack, as warned in 1 Peter 5:8?
  4. How can I balance the need for human planning and strategy with the importance of trusting in God's plan, as seen in Proverbs 3:5-6?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Samuel 17:1

Moreover Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night: Moreover Ahithophel said unto Absalom.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on 2 Samuel 17:1

2 SAMUEL CHAPTER 17 Hushai, David’ s friend, being, by David’ s order, gone over to Absalom, by God’ s appointment overthroweth Ahithophel’ s counsel, . Hushai certifieth David thereof, and adviseth him forthwith to march on, . David passeth over Jordan, . Ahithophel hangeth himself, . David cometh to Mahanaim: Absalom passeth over Jordan, making Amasa the captain of his host, . David is there furnished with provisions by his friends, . I am so well assured of the goodness of this counsel, that I will venture my own person and life in execution of it.

Trapp's Commentary on 2 Samuel 17:1

2 Samuel 17:1 Moreover Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night:Ver. 1. Moreover, Ahithophel said unto Absalom.] This was a second politic indeed, but pestilent counsel, given by Ahithophel to Absalom, stirring him up to parricide; and offering his best service as a captain and commander, which in counsellors and politicians is not ordinary. And pursue after David this night.] He knew well that celerity in war is a great matter. Witness Alexander the Great with his Mηδεναναβαλλομενος, and Julius Caesar with his Veni, Vidi, Vici. Pompey lost the day at the Pharsalian field by delays. And Charles, king of Sicily and Jerusalem, was for his lingering called Cunctator, because he stayed till opportunity was lost.

Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Samuel 17:1

XVII.(1) Pursue after David this night.—Ahithophel saw clearly that Absalom’s success depended on striking an immediate blow. He felt confident, and perhaps with reason, that David in his distress and weariness was in no condition to resist a sudden onset. That he was wise in his counsel is made plain by the opposition of Hushai and the anxiety to send tidings to David with all speed. “This night” is generally taken to mean the night of the day on which David left Jerusalem; but from 2 Samuel 17:16 and 2 Samuel 15:28 it appears that he was already encamped by the fords of the Jordan, a greater distance than he could have accomplished in one day’s march.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on 2 Samuel 17:1

CHAPTER XVII Ahithophel counsels Absalom to pursue his father with twelve thousand men, 14. Hushai gives a different counsel, and is followed, 5-14. Hushai informs Zadok and Abiathar; and they send word to David, 15-21. David and his men go beyond Jordan, 22. Ahithophel, finding his counsel slighted, goes home, sets his house in order, and hangs himself, 23. David moves to Mahanaim; and Absalom follows him over Jordan, 24-26. Several friends meet David at Mahanaim with refreshments and provisions, 27-29. NOTES ON CHAP. XVII Verse 1. Let me now choose out twelve thousand men] Had this counsel been followed, David and his little troop would soon have been destroyed; nothing but the miraculous interposition of God could have saved them. Twelve thousand chosen troops coming against him, in his totally unprepared state, would have soon settled the business of the kingdom. Ahithophel well saw that, this advice neglected, all was lost.

Cambridge Bible on 2 Samuel 17:1

Ch. 2 Samuel 17:1-14. Ahithophel’s counsel defeated by Hushai 1. this night] The night following David’s flight and Absalom’s entrance into Jerusalem. Ahithophel’s advice, given no doubt at the council described in ch. 2 Samuel 16:20, was excellent. The success of the rebellion would be ensured by striking a sudden blow, and securing the king’s person. A small body of picked troops might easily have overtaken David, who was not likely to get more than twelve or fifteen miles from Jerusalem the first day.

Barnes' Notes on 2 Samuel 17:1

This night - The night of the day on which David fled, and Absalom entered into Jerusalem. Ahithophel’s idea was to fall upon David by surprise, and in the first confusion of the surprised army to seize and kill David only.
