2 Sam. 23:16‑17• 16And the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, which is in the gate, and took it, and brought it to David; however he would not drink of it, but poured it out to Jehovah.
17And he said, Be it far from me, Jehovah, that I should do this thing! is it not the blood of the men that went at the risk of their lives? Therefore he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men.

;
Psa. 55:3‑11• 3Because of the voice of the enemy; because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in anger they persecute me.
4My heart is writhing within me, and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
5Fear and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.
6And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away, and be at rest;
7Behold, I would flee afar off, I would lodge in the wilderness; Selah;
8I would hasten my escape from the stormy wind, from the tempest.
9Swallow them up, Lord; divide their tongue: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
10Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof; and iniquity and mischief are in the midst of it.
11Perversities are in the midst thereof; and oppression and deceit depart not from its streets.

 It is painful to see the conqueror of Goliath driven from his home and his throne by his beloved son, and that under God’s hand. For if God had not allowed it, who could have driven God’s elect from the royal seat in which Jehovah had placed him? (2 Samuel 14-20 by J.N. Darby)
 David fleeing before Absalom is a striking type of the faithful Jews at the time of the end. In both David and the remnant we see bloodguiltiness, whether it be of Urijah or of the rejected Messiah. In both we see the soul restored after this crime. In both we see uprightness of heart mingled with deep sensitivity to the sin committed. And lastly, in both we see the consequences of this sin in God's government which does not leave the crime unpunished. (David's Flight: 2 Samuel 15 by H.L. Rossier)
 David flees, not because Absalom is stronger, but because he is God's rod raised to chasten His servant. But David does not think of himself alone: he is thinking of Jerusalem, the city of the Lord, the city he desires to spare from the trial or ruin that resistance on his part would surely bring with it. (David's Flight: 2 Samuel 15 by H.L. Rossier)
