Reading the Bible in Historical Sequence Part 4نمونہ
During his separation, Absalom becomes bitter, plans rebellion and in 1023 BC grabs the throne. David (62) flees crying for God’s help.
Note 2 Samuel 15: The 40 years in v.7 may be a copyist’s error; Josephus gives four years. This seems to fit the context – four years from Absalom’s return to Jerusalem. Ahithophel’s desertion (2 Samuel 15:12) was hard to bear; he had been a spiritual adviser and friend to David (Psalm 41:9; 55:12–14). Ahithophel, it seems, was the paternal grandfather of Bathsheba, David’s wife (2 Samuel 11:3; 23:34). David’s matrimonial conquests have become arrows (Psalm 38:2).
