Contextual Overview
15 And Absalom & al the people the men of Israel came to Hierusalem, and Ahithophel was with him. 16 And assoone as Husai the Arachite Dauids frend, was come vnto Absalo, Husai sayde vnto Absalom: God saue the king, God saue the king. 17 And Absalom sayde to Husai: Is this the kindnesse to thy frende? Why wentest thou not with him? 18 Husai aunswered vnto Absalom, Nay not so: But whom the Lorde and this people and all the men of Israel choose, his will I be, & with him wil I dwell. 19 And moreouer, vnto whom shal I do seruice? not to his sonne? And as I was seruaunt before thy father, so will I before thee. 20 Then spake Absalom to Ahithophel: Geue counsel what we shall do. 21 And Ahithophel said vnto Absalom: Get thee in vnto thy fathers cocubines whiche he hath left to kepe the house, and all Israel shal heare, that thou art abhorred of thy father: then shall the hades of al that are with thee, be strong. 22 And so they spread Absalom a tent vpon the toppe of the house, and Absalom went in vnto his fathers concubines in the sight of all Israel. 23 And the counsel of Ahithophel whiche he counseled in those dayes, was as a man had asked counsel at the oracle of God: euen so was all the counsel of Ahithophel, both with Dauid and with Absalom.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Absalom, and all the people, the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem,.... At the same time that David and his people came to Bahurim; which, as Josephus z says, was a place near to Jerusalem; and, according to Bunting a, was little more than a mile from it; though elsewhere b he makes it three miles; so that had not David made the hasty flight he did, he had fallen into the hands of Absalom:
and Ahithophel with him: a famous counsellor, and who had been of David's privy council, and chief in it, see 2 Samuel 15:12 and whom David refers to in Psalms 55:12.
