Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the king went forth,.... From Jerusalem; which is repeated, that it might be observed in what a hurry and fright he was:

and all the people after him; his family, court, and servants, and as many of the people of Jerusalem as chose to go with him:

and tarried at a place that was afar off; when they had got at some distance from the city, they stopped and stayed a while; it could not be a great way from it, for they had not as yet passed over the brook Kidron, 2 Samuel 15:23.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Samuel 15:17. And tarried in a place — He probably waited till he saw all his friends safely out of the city.
