SEV Biblia, Chapter 16:16
Y acaeció que cuando Husai araquita amigo de David llegó a Absalón, le dijo Husai: ¡Viva el rey, viva el rey!
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 16. And it came to pass that when Hushai the Archite, David’s friend, was come unto Absalom , etc.] Who came into Jerusalem at the same time that Absalom did, and who, no doubt, took the first opportunity to make his court to him, ( 2 Samuel 15:37); that Hushai said unto Absalom, God save the king, God save the king ; or “may the king live” f277 , live long, and his kingdom be permanent; these words are very ambiguous, he might mean David, who was true and lawful king, though he would have them understood of Absalom, who was king by usurpation, in which he used great deceit and flattery; and that he might not be suspected of it, but be thought to be sincere and truly loyal to Absalom, he repeats the wish.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 15-23 - The wisest counsellors of that age were Ahithophel and Hushai: Absalo thinks himself sure of success, when he has both; on them he relies and consults not the ark, though he had that with him. But miserabl counsellors were they both. Hushai would never counsel him to d wisely. Ahithophel counselled him to do wickedly; and so did a effectually betray him, as he did, who was designedly false to him: for they that advise men to sin, certainly advise them to their hurt. Afte all, honesty is the best policy, and will be found so in the long run Ahithophel gave wicked counsel to Absalom; to render himself so hatefu to his father, that he would never be reconciled to him; this curse policy was of the devil. How desperately wicked is the human heart __________________________________________________________________
