John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

2 Samuel 15:16

After him — Or, on foot, which the king chose to do, to humble himself under the hand of God; to encourage his companions in this hard and comfortless march; and to move compassion in his people towards him. Concubines — For he supposed that their sex would protect them, and their relation to David would gain them some respect, or at least, safety from his son.
