near...: Heb. near my place

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

14:28-33 By his insolent carriage toward Joab, Absalom brought Joab to plead for him. By his insolent message to the king, he gained his wishes. When parents and rulers countenance such characters, they will soon suffer the most fatal effects. But did the compassion of a father prevail to reconcile him to an impenitent son, and shall penitent sinners question the compassion of Him who is the Father of mercies?


Judges 15:3 Samson then said to them, "This time I shall be blameless in regard to the Philistines when I do them harm." (NASB ©1995)
