Read 2 Samuel 13.23-39. In 13.23-39: Amnon's murder. In verse 23: Sheepshearing was a time of celebration. In verse 27: The feast was a drinking bout. In verse 29: David and his sons rode on mules (18.9; 1 Kings 1.33). In verses 30-33: David initially thought that Absalom had killed all the king's sons, which would make sense if he were attempting a coup. But his intention at this point is purely revenge against Amnon. The clever Jonadah appears as a false friend to Amnon. In verse 37: Talmai, the king of Geshur, was Abraham's maternal grandfather (3.3) In verse 39: The first past of this verse may mean that David was tired of marching out in pursuit of Absalom rather than that he yearned for him. This would explain David's reluctance in the next chapter to allow Absalom back into his presence. Comments or Questions..
