2 Samuel 14:13-17
_ _ Wherefore then hast thou thought such a thing against the people of God, etc. — Her argument may be made clear in the following paraphrase: — You have granted me the pardon of a son who had slain his brother, and yet you will not grant to your subjects the restoration of Absalom, whose criminality is not greater than my son’s, since he killed his brother in similar circumstances of provocation. Absalom has reason to complain that he is treated by his own father more sternly and severely than the meanest subject in the realm; and the whole nation will have cause for saying that the king shows more attention to the petition of a humble woman than to the wishes and desires of a whole kingdom. The death of my son is a private loss to my family, while the preservation of Absalom is the common interest of all Israel, who now look to him as your successor on the throne. |
2 Samuel 14:14
We — We shall certainly die, both thou, O king, who art therefore obliged to take care of thy successor, Absalom; and Absalom, who, if he do not die by the hand of justice, must shortly die by the necessity of nature: and Amnon too must have died in the common way of all flesh, if Absalom had not cut him off. Respect — So far as to exempt him from this common law of dying. Not expelled — He hath given laws to this purpose, that the man — slayer who is banished should not always continue in banishment, but upon the High — priest's death return to his own city. |
