To have sent him to the king that by his mediation he might be admitted into the king’ s favour and presence.

He would not come partly, because perceiving David’ s affections to be cold to Absalom, he would not venture his own interest for him, especially in desiring that which he feared he should be denied; partly, lest by interceding further for Absalom, he should revive the remembrance of his former murder, and meet with the reproach of one murderer’ s interceding for another; and partly, because by converse with Absalom he observed his temper to be such, that if once he were fully restored to the king’ s favour, he would not only eclipse and oppose Joab’ s interest and power with the king, but also attempt high things, not without danger to the king and kingdom, as it happened.

Haydock: 2Sa 14:29 - -- To him. Joab, like a crafty courtier, would neither disoblige the king nor the prince, and therefore wished not to meddle in this affair; as he migh...

To him. Joab, like a crafty courtier, would neither disoblige the king nor the prince, and therefore wished not to meddle in this affair; as he might either excite the suspicions of the own, or the resentment of the other. (Calmet)

Therefore Absalom sent for Joab, to have sent him to the king,.... To introduce him into his presence, being uneasy to be thus confined at his own house, and not suffered to come to court:

but he would not come to him; knowing the king's mind, and being unwilling to disoblige him by a troublesome solicitation:

and when he sent again the second time, he would not come; knowing his business with him; and perhaps between the first time of his sending and this he had sounded the king about it, and found it was not agreeable to him to admit him to access to him as yet.
