18Si veías al ladrón, tú corrías con él; Y con los adúlteros era tu parte.
19Tu boca metías en mal, Y tu lengua componía engaño.
20Tomabas asiento, y hablabas contra tu hermano: Contra el hijo de tu madre ponías infamia.

12¿Quién demandó esto de vuestras manos, cuando vinieseis á presentaros delante de mí, para hollar mis atrios?
13No me traigáis más vano presente: el perfume me es abominación: luna nueva y sábado, el convocar asambleas, no las puedo sufrir: son iniquidad vuestras solemnidades.
14Vuestras lunas nuevas y vuestras solemnidades tiene aborrecidas mi alma: me son gravosas; cansado estoy de llevarlas.

 He will pretend to have not only a kingly place but a prophet-character, an understanding of the mind of God, just as Ahithophel here, as we see, who had been David's counselor before but is now Absalom's. There is thus a combination of the false prophet with royalty. These at the close will be united in the antichrist. (2 Samuel 15 by W. Kelly)
 On the one hand royal power (and this was what Absalom was affecting for himself); but along with it there was joined with him a falsely prophetic character typified by Ahithophel. The two were connected together, just as we saw Saul himself at the last finding his resource in the witch of Endor. There was an evil spiritual adviser of the lowest kind to which he was driven. See too Pharaoh and the magicians, also Balak and Balaam. So constantly are these two characters linked in opposition to the Christ of God. (2 Samuel 15 by W. Kelly)
