2 Samuel15:23

23 And all the countrey wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over: the king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over toward the way of the wilderness.

i. e. The generality of the people by whom they passed: for it must be considered, that Absalom's Friends and Partizans were gone to him to Hebron, and the rest of the people thereabouts were either well-willers to David, or at least moved with compassion at the sad and sudden change of so great and good a King, which was able to affect an heart of stone.

Which was near Ierusalem. See Matth. 26. 36. Io[illegible: 1+ letters]. 18. 1.

Which was between Ierusalem and Iericho.
