The True and the False in 2 Sam. 15:32-17:292SA 15:32-372SA 162SA 17

The rejection of their king tried the hearts of the faithful in Jerusalem. Hushai (meaning "my hastening"), so much like Peter, hastened to go with the king, but was persuaded to return to Jerusalem and serve his master there (Acts 3:17-21).
Ziba, the servant of Mephibosheth, came to David with gifts and a false report about his master. He obtained a portion of the land by falsehood and exposed himself as an antichrist in character (Dan. 11:39; Matt. 24:10-12). David was deceived, but Christ will not be deceived. There will be a new division of the land according to Eze. 47:13-48:35.
Zadok and Abiathar were like Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea in their faithfulness to the rejected king of Israel.
