2 S. 23:16‑17• 16Entonces los tres valientes rompieron por el campo de los Filisteos, y sacaron agua de la cisterna de Beth-lehem, que estaba á la puerta; y tomaron, y trajéronla á David: mas él no la quiso beber, sino derramóla á Jehová, diciendo:
17Lejos sea de mí, oh Jehová, que yo haga esto. ¿He de beber yo la sangre de los varones que fueron con peligro de su vida? Y no quiso beberla. Los tres valientes hicieron esto.

Sal. 55:3‑11• 3A causa de la voz del enemigo, Por la opresión del impío; Porque echaron sobre mí iniquidad, Y con furor me han amenazado.
4Mi corazón está doloroso dentro de mí, Y terrores de muerte sobre mí han caído.
5Temor y temblor vinieron sobre mí, Y terror me ha cubierto.
6Y dije: Quién me diese alas como de paloma! Volaría yo, y descansaría.
7Ciertamente huiría lejos: Moraría en el desierto. (Selah.)
8Apresuraríame á escapar Del viento tempestuoso, de la tempestad.
9Deshace, oh Señor, divide la lengua de ellos; Porque he visto violencia y rencilla en la ciudad.

 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)
