Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

Twenty thousand men - Whether these were slain on the field of battle, or whether they were reckoned with those slain in the wood of Ephraim, we know not.


Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

Where the people of Israel were slain before the servants of David,.... That is, the people of Israel that were under Absalom, these were beaten by David's army:

and there was a great slaughter that day of twenty thousand men; including both those that fell in the field of battle, and that were slain in the pursuit; and this is to be understood only of Absalom's party.


Geneva Study Bible

Where the people of Israel were slain before the servants of David, and there was there a great slaughter that day of twenty thousand men.


Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

7. the people of Israel were slain-This designation, together with the immense slaughter mentioned later, shows the large extent to which the people were enlisted in this unhappy civil contest.


Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

18:1-8 How does David render good for evil! Absalom would have only David smitten; David would have only Absalom spared. This seems to be a resemblance of man's wickedness towards God, and God's mercy to man, of which it is hard to say which is most amazing. Now the Israelites see what it is to take counsel against the Lord and his anointed.


2 Samuel 18:6 The army marched into the field to fight Israel, and the battle took place in the forest of Ephraim.
2 Samuel 18:8 The battle spread out over the whole countryside, and the forest claimed more lives that day than the sword.
Psalm 144:10 to the One who gives victory to kings, who delivers his servant David from the deadly sword.
