10 And a certain man saw it and said to Joab, I saw Absalom hanging in a tree.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Samuel 18:10

Commentary on 2 Samuel 18:9-18

(Read 2 Samuel 18:9-18)

Let young people look upon Absalom, hanging on a tree, accursed, forsaken of heaven and earth; there let them read the Lord's abhorrence of rebellion against parents. Nothing can preserve men from misery and contempt, but heavenly wisdom and the grace of God.
