Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

13:30-39 Jonadab was as guilty of Ammon's death, as of his sin; such false friends do they prove, who counsel us to do wickedly. Instead of loathing Absalom as a murderer, David, after a time, longed to go forth to him. This was David's infirmity: God saw something in his heart that made a difference, else we should have thought that he, as much as Eli, honoured his sons more than God.


2 Samuel 1:11 Then David took hold of his clothes and tore them, and so also did all the men who were with him.
2 Samuel 12:16 David therefore inquired of God for the child; and David fasted and went and lay all night on the ground. (NASB ©1995)
