21 Now when King David heard of all these matters , he was very angry . 22 But Absalom did not speak to Amnon either good or bad ; for Absalom hated Amnon because e e he had violated his sister Tamar .

Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Samuel 13:21-22

Commentary on 2 Samuel 13:21-29

(Read 2 Samuel 13:21-29)

Observe the aggravations of Absalom's sin: he would have Ammon slain, when least fit to go out of the world. He engaged his servants in the guilt. Those servants are ill-taught who obey wicked masters, against God's commands. Indulged children always prove crosses to godly parents, whose foolish love leads them to neglect their duty to God.
