Explanation preview
David is fleeing Jerusalem because his son Absalom has seized the kingdom by conspiracy, and this verse marks the moment the king leaves the city. The Kidron Valley lies just east of Jerusalem, between the city and the Mount of Olives, so crossing it means leaving the capital and heading toward the wilderness.
