Commentary for II Samuel 15:11

Invited and leaving in innovence. It is explained in the Yerushalmi tractate of Sotah⁵Chapter 1, halach 8. that he [Avsholom] requested of his father that he [Dovid] write [a document] for him that any two people that he request go with him, should go. He [proceeded] to show it [the document] to two people here and afterwords to two other people and in this way to many.⁶But he implied to Dovid that only two men would go. He kept using the same document for more and more pairs of men.
