2 Samuel - 15:6 Meaning

“And on this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the king for judgment: so Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.”

King James Version (KJV)

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

15:1-6 David allows Absalom's pomp. Those parents know not what they do, who indulge a proud humour in their children: many young people are ruined by pride. And those commonly are most eager for authority who least understand its duties.

“And these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before there reigned any king over the children of Israel.”
