And the king’s servants said to the king, “Behold, your servants are ready to do whatever my lord the king decides.”
Here is, I. The notice brought to David of Absalom's rebellion, Sa2 15:13. The matter was bad enough, and yet it seems to have been made worse to him (as such things commonly are) than really it was; for he was told that the hearts of the men of Israel (that is, the generality of them, at least the leading men) were after Absalom.

And the king's servants said unto the king,.... In answer to him, and to show that they were quite conformable to his pleasure: behold, thy servants are ready to do whatsoever my lord the king shalt appoint; or "choose" (k), whether to prepare to fight, and defend him and the city, or to depart and make their escape. (k) "elegerit", Pagninus, Montanus, Junius & Tremellius, Piscator.
2Sa 15:15-16 As his servants declared themselves ready to follow him, the king went out of the city with all his family in his train (lit. at his feet, as in Jdg 4:10, Jdg 4:15, etc.), but left ten concubines behind to keep the palace.
