2 Samuel15:8
8 For thy servant vowed a vow while I abode at Geshur in Syria, saying, If the LORD shall bring me again indeed to Jerusalem, then I will serve the LORD .
i. e. Worship him by the offering of Sacrifices of Thanksgiving to God for restoring me to the place of his presence and service, and to my Fathers favour. But why should not this service have been performed at Sion, or at Gibeon? Here was some ground of suspition; but God blinded David's eyes, that he might bring upon David and upon Absalom the Judgments which they deserved, and he designed.
