SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:26
Entonces dijo Absalón: Si no, te ruego que venga con nosotros Amnón mi hermano. Y el rey le respondió: ¿Para qué ha de ir contigo?
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 13:26
Verse 26. Let my brother Amnon go] He urged this with the more plausibility, because Amnon was the first-born, and presumptive heir to the kingdom; and he had disguised his resentment so well before, that he was not suspected.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 26. Then said Absalom, if not , etc.] If it is not thy pleasure to go with me, if I cannot have the honour of thy company: I pray thee, let my brother Amnon go with us ; let me have the next mark of honour that can be given me, the presence of the king’s eldest son, and heir to the crown; he seems to express affection for him, and a particular desire of his company, as if all ill will towards him was removed from him, and this would be a public declaration of reconciliation between them: and the king said unto him, why should he go with thee ? he particularly, he more than any other; David seems to have suspected some design, and it is strange he should not; and yet if he had, it is much, notwithstanding the pressing arguments used, he should let him go; or he might think it would be more expensive to have him than the rest, and therefore asks why he should desire his company above all others.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 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, agains God's commands. Indulged children always prove crosses to godl parents, whose foolish love leads them to neglect their duty to God.
