SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:10
Pero envió Absalón espías por todas las tribus de Israel, diciendo: Cuando oyereis el sonido de la trompeta, diréis: Absalón reina en Hebrón.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 15:10
Verse 10. Absalom sent spies] These persons were to go into every tribe; and the trumpet was to be blown as a signal for all to arise, and proclaim Absalom in every place. The trumpet was probably used as a kind of telegraph by the spies: trumpet exciting trumpet from place to place; so that, in a few minutes all Israel would hear the proclamation.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 10. But Absalom sent spies throughout all the land of Israel , etc.] To sound the disposition of the people towards him, to insinuate things into their minds in favour of him, and to improve every opportunity of recommending him to their esteem and affections: saying, as soon as ye hear the sound of the trumpet ; in any place; and which it is probable he employed men to sound in many places: then ye shall say, Absalom reigneth in Hebron : which is the cause of the trumpet’s sounding; and by this means they would learn how the people stood affected to him, whether the news was grateful or not.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 7-12 - See how willing tender parents are to believe the best concerning their children. But how easy and how wicked is it, for children to tak advantage of good parents, and to deceive them with the show of religion! The principal men of Jerusalem joined Absalom's feast upo his sacrifice. Pious persons are glad to see others appear religious and this gives occasion for deceptions. The policy of wicked men, an the subtlety of Satan, are exerted to draw good persons to countenanc base designs.
