Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Samuel 19:3

_ _ the people gat them by stealth ... to the city — The rumor of the king’s disconsolate condition spread a universal and unseasonable gloom. His troops, instead of being welcomed back (as a victorious army always was) with music and other demonstrations of public joy, slunk secretly and silently into the city, as if ashamed after the commission of some crime.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 2 Samuel 19:1-8.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

2 Samuel 19:3

By stealth — Not openly and triumphantly, as conquerors use to do; but secretly, as if they were afraid and ashamed, lest David should see them, and look upon them with an evil eye, as those that had an hand in killing of his beloved son.
