Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Samuel 19:9

9 ¶ And all the people were at strife throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying , The king saved us out of the hand of our enemies, and he delivered us out of the hand of the Philistines, and now he is fled out of the land for Absalom .

Quarrelling one with another as the Authors or Abettors of this shameful and cursed Rebellion.

Discoursing privately and publickly of David's high merits, which God, being now reconciled to David, brings afresh to their memories, and reneweth the sense of their obligations to their King, which they had lately shaken off. Thus the Crowns of Kings sit faster or looser upon their heads, as God is pleased to dispose of the thoughts and hearts of their people, which he can turn in an instant which way he will.

Now we come to reflect upon our own actions, we are sensible of our folly and unworthiness in adhering to Absalom, and thereby forcing David to fly out of the Land of Canaan, to the parts beyond Iordan, for his security.
