John Gill Commentary 2 Samuel 16:14

"And the king, and all the people that were with him, came weary; and he refreshed himself there." — 2 Samuel 16:14 (ASV)

And the king, and all the people that [were] with him, came weary With their journey, and through grief and trouble at what they met with:

and refreshed themselves there : that is, at Bahurim, with food and rest; which revived their spirits, and put as it were new life and soul into them, as the word used signifies. Josephus ^F25 says, when David came to Jordan, he refreshed his weary men.
