2 Samuel19:41
41 ¶ And behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said unto the king, Why have our brethren the men of Judah stolen thee away , and have brought the king and his houshold, and all Davids men with him over Jordan?
To wit, such as were present.
i. e. Conveyed thee over Iordan hastily and privily, not expecting nor desiring our Consent and Concurrence in the Business, which we were no less ready to afford than they. It is also a secret Reflection upon the King, for permitting this Precipitation.
i. e. All thy men; such changes of Persons being most frequent in the Hebrew Language; thine Officers, and Guards, and Soldiers. This is mentioned as an aggravation of their fault, That they did not onely carry the King over Iordan, but all his Men too, without asking their Advice.
