A Prophetic Path of Sorrow
Commentators highlight that David crossing the Kidron brook in sorrow is a powerful foreshadowing of his descendant, Jesus Christ. Centuries later, Jesus would cross the very same brook on his way to the Garden of Gethsemane to face betrayal and begin his path to the cross. David's painful exile prefigures the suffering of the ultimate King.
