“Then David arose, and all the people that [were] with him, and passed over Jordan, etc.] Taking the advice of Hushai: by the morning light there lacked not one of them that was not gone over Jordan; they travelled all night, and before it was morning they had all passed the river in boats, or through the fords, and not one was lost in the passage, nor any deserted, (see <431712>John 17:12); and now perhaps David penned the forty second and forty third psalms, (<194201>Psalm 42:1-43:5).”
