Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(38) Was there three years.--This is the third time the flight of Absalom has been mentioned; but, after the custom of Scripture narrative, each repetition has been for the purpose of introducing some additional fact. In 2Samuel 13:34 the simple fact of his flight is stated; in 2Samuel 13:37 it is added that he went to his grandfather, and here that he remained with him three years.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewAfter Absalomוְאַבְשָׁל֥וֹם (wə·’aḇ·šā·lō·wm)Conjunctive waw | Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 53: Absalom -- 'my father is peace', two Israeliteshad fledבָּרַ֖ח (bā·raḥ)Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 1272: To bolt, to flee suddenlyand goneוַיֵּ֣לֶךְ (way·yê·leḵ)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 1980: To go, come, walkto Geshur,גְּשׁ֑וּר (gə·šūr)Noun - proper - feminine singularStrong's 1650: Geshur -- a territory East of the upper Jordan, also inhabitants of Geshurhe stayedוַיְהִי־ (way·hî-)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 1961: To fall out, come to pass, become, bethereשָׁ֖ם (šām)AdverbStrong's 8033: There, then, thitherthreeשָׁלֹ֥שׁ (šā·lōš)Number - feminine singularStrong's 7969: Three, third, thriceyears.שָׁנִֽים׃ (šā·nîm)Noun - feminine pluralStrong's 8141: A yearJump to PreviousAbsalom Ab'salom Fled Geshur Sorrowing Three Time
