2 Samuel 13 - Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible

Absalom murders his brother Ammon.

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. (2Sa 13:30-39)
