Absalom proposed to give such an entertainment at his estate in Baal-hazor, about eight miles northeast of Jerusalem near a town called Ephraim (Joshua 11:10). He first invited the king and his court; but the king declining, on account of the heavy expense to which the reception of royalty would subject him [2 Samuel 13:25], Absalom then limited the invitation to the king’s sons [2 Samuel 13:26], which David the more readily agreed to, in the hope that it might tend to the promotion of brotherly harmony and union. |
