With Amnon: whom yet he did not punish, at least so severely as he should either from the consciousness of his own guilt in the like kind; or, from that foolish indulgence which he often shewed to his children.

Clarke: 2Sa 13:21 - -- But when King David heard - To this verse the Septuagint add the following words: Και ουκ ελυπησε το πνευμα Αμνων του ...

But when King David heard - To this verse the Septuagint add the following words: Και ουκ ελυπησε το πνευμα Αμνων του υἱου αυτου, ὁτι ηγαπα αυτον, ὁτι πρωτοτοκος αυτου ην ; "But he would not grieve the soul of Amnon his son, for he loved him, because he was his first-born."The same addition is found in the Vulgate and in Josephus, and it is possible that this once made a part of the Hebrew text.

TSK: 2Sa 13:21 - -- he was very wroth : The Septuagint and Vulgate add, και ουκ ελυπησε το πνευμα Αμνων του υιου αυτου, ο...

he was very wroth : The Septuagint and Vulgate add, και ουκ ελυπησε το πνευμα Αμνων του υιου αυτου, οτι ηγαπα αυτον, οτι πρωτοτοκος αυτου ην . et noluit contristare spiritum Amnon filii sui, quoniam diligebat eum, quia primogenituj erat ei .

""But he would not grieve the soul of Amnon his son, for he loved him because he was his first-born.""The same addition is found in Josephus; and it is probable that it once formed a part of the Hebrew Text. 2Sa 3:28, 2Sa 3:29, 2Sa 12:5, 2Sa 12:10; Gen 34:7; 1Sa 2:22-25, 1Sa 2:29; Psa 101:8

Barnes: 2Sa 13:21 - -- The Septuagint adds, what is a good explanation, "but he did not vex the spirit of Amnon his son, because he loved him, because he was his first-bor...

The Septuagint adds, what is a good explanation, "but he did not vex the spirit of Amnon his son, because he loved him, because he was his first-born."This want of justice in David’ s conduct, and favoritism to Amnon, probably rankled in Absalom’ s heart, and was the first seed of his after rebellion.

Poole: 2Sa 13:21 - -- To wit, with Amnon; whom yet he did not punish, at least so severely as he should; either from the conscience of his own guilt in the like kind; or ...

To wit, with Amnon; whom yet he did not punish, at least so severely as he should; either from the conscience of his own guilt in the like kind; or from that foolish indulgence which he oft showed to his children; or because the case was perplexed; for if he had been put to death for the fact, by virtue of that law, Deu 22:23,24 , she also, who was innocent, must have died with him, because she did not cry out; although indeed that law did not reach the present case, Tamar not being betrothed to a husband: and for the following law concerning a virgin not betrothed, that could have no place here: he could not force Amnon to marry Tamar, because that marriage had been incestuous.

Haydock: 2Sa 13:21 - -- And he, &c. This is not in Hebrew, &c., nor in St. Jerome's version. Josephus and some copies of the Septuagint read it. But the reason here alleg...

And he, &c. This is not in Hebrew, &c., nor in St. Jerome's version. Josephus and some copies of the Septuagint read it. But the reason here alleged would not suffice to excuse David. (Calmet) ---

He might think that, as he had shewn such a bad example himself, he could not with a good grace punish others. (Sanctius) ---

This however was requisite, as long as he was king. Whatever faults he might have fallen into, he was not on that account to suffer crimes to remain unpunished; (Haydock) and it is supposed that he testified his resentment to Amnon; (Salien, &c.) though the Scripture be silent thereon. (Haydock) ---

Abulensis condemns him for too great remissness. (Menochius)

Gill: 2Sa 13:21 - -- But when King David heard of all these things,.... Of Amnon's ravishing Tamar, and turning her out of doors in that inhuman manner he did, and of her ...

But when King David heard of all these things,.... Of Amnon's ravishing Tamar, and turning her out of doors in that inhuman manner he did, and of her distress upon it:

he was very wroth; with Amnon; but we read not of any reproof he gave him, nor of any punishment inflicted on him by him. Abarbinel thinks the reason why he was not punished was because his sin was not cognizable by a court of judicature, nor was punishable by any way, or with any kind of death inflicted by the sanhedrim, as stoning, burning, &c. nor even by scourging, because there were no witnesses; but the punishment of it was cutting off, i.e. by the hand of God. The Jews say e a law was made on this, that virgins or unmarried persons should not be alone; for if this was done to the daughter of a king, much more might it be done to the daughter of a private man; and if to a modest person, much more to an impudent one.
