SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:22
Entonces David dijo a Ittai: Ven pues , y pasa. Y pasó Ittai geteo, y todos sus varones, y todos sus siervos.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 22. And David said unto Ittai, go, and pass over , etc.] It being his resolution to abide with him, he urged him no more to depart, but bid him pass over the brook Kidron before him: and Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men ; the six hundred Gittites that were under his command: and all the little ones that [were] with him ; that belonged to him and his men, and no doubt their wives also.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 13-23 - David determined to quit Jerusalem. He took this resolve, as a peniten submitting to the rod. Before unrighteous Absalom he could justif himself, and stand out; but before the righteous God he must condem himself, and yield to his judgments. Thus he accepts the punishment of his sin. And good men, when they themselves suffer, are anxious tha others should not be led to suffer with them. He compelled none; thos whose hearts were with Absalom, to Absalom let them go, and so shal their doom be. Thus Christ enlists none but willing followers. Davi cannot bear to think that Ittai, a stranger and an exile, a proselyt and a new convert, who ought to be encouraged and made easy, shoul meet with hard usage. But such value has Ittai for David's wisdom an goodness, that he will not leave him. He is a friend indeed, who love at all times, and will adhere to us in adversity. Let us cleave to the Son of David, with full purpose of heart, and neither life nor deat shall separate us from his love.
