TSNTyndale Study Notes:

16:22 Absalom intended to show the people that he had assumed the throne with its royal prerogatives. His shameful act echoed David’s adultery with Bathsheba, which also began on that roof (11:2-4); the episode fulfilled Nathan’s prophecy (12:11-12).

This is a euphemism. Alternate translation: “Absalom had sexual relations with his father’s slave wives”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

(Occurrence 0) in the sight of all Israel

(Some words not found in UHB: and,pitched for,Absalom the,tent on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,roof and,went_in ʼAⱱīshālōm to/towards concubines his/its=father in,sight all/each/any/every Yisrael )

The phrase “all of Israel” is a generalization, for only people near the palace could see it. Alternate translation: “where the Israelites could see him go into the tent”
