SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:11
Y fueron con Absalón doscientos hombres de Jerusalén por él convidados, los cuales iban en su sencillez, sin saber nada.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 15:11
Verse 11. Went two hundred men] These were probably soldiers, whom he supposed would be of considerable consequence to him. They had been seduced by his specious conduct, but knew nothing of his present design.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 11. And with Absalom went two hundred men out of Jerusalem, [that were] called , etc.] Invited by him to go with him and partake of his peace offerings, as the payment of his vow in Hebron; part of which was made a feast of for his friends, whomsoever he should think fit to invite, as he did to the number of two hundred, and for the entertainment of whom a large provision ought to be made; the Jews have a tradition, that he had leave of his father only to invite two to go with him, and that he asked two more unknown to the first, and so on, two after two, until they amounted to two hundred: and they went in their simplicity ; to partake of the feast of the peace offerings, to which they were invited; being quite harmless and upright in their intentions, having no thought of disloyalty and rebellion in their breasts: and they knew not anything ; of an intended conspiracy; howbeit, doubtless many of them were drawn into it when got thither; and as these may be supposed to be some of the principal men of Jerusalem, it was a great weakening of David’s interest, and laid a considerable foundation for Absalom to begin upon.
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.
