John Gill's Bible Commentary Ver. 9. And she took a pan, and poured [them] out before him , etc.] Out of the frying pan, in which they were, into another dish; and all this was done in his presence, that he might see and know of what, and in what manner it was made, that his stomach might not recoil at it: but he refused to eat : for that was not what he wanted: and Amnon said, have out all men from me ; as if company was troublesome to him, and he wanted rest, etc. and they went out every man from him ; at his orders, that he might get some sleep, as he seemed desirous of it.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-20 - From henceforward David was followed with one trouble after another Adultery and murder were David's sins, the like sins among his children were the beginnings of his punishment: he was too indulgent to his children. Thus David might trace the sins of his children to his ow misconduct, which must have made the anguish of the chastisement worse Let no one ever expect good treatment from those who are capable of attempting their seduction; but it is better to suffer the greates wrong than to commit the least sin.
