at the far house; location marker, possibly 'Beth-merhak' (Far House)
A phrase describing a location 'at the far house' or 'the distant place,' appearing when David fled Jerusalem during Absalom's revolt. Whether this represents a proper place name (Beth-merhak, 'Far House') or simply a descriptive phrase ('the last house of the city') remains debated. The context suggests a specific stopping point on the edge of Jerusalem.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — As David fled Jerusalem, he stopped 'at the far house' or 'at Beth-merhak' (2 Samuel 15:17, mentioned twice in the verse). The context shows this marked the city's edge—David stopped there while his servants passed before him. Some interpreters take this as a proper name: 'Far House,' a settlement or landmark at Jerusalem's outskirts. Others understand it descriptively: 'the last house' or 'the distant place,' marking where the city ended. The multilingual evidence divides: some render it as location ('at the house'), others emphasize distance ('the distant'). The Hebrew article suggests a known location, whether properly named 'Beth-merhak' or simply the recognized boundary point, the 'far house' beyond which lay open country. 2×
