“And it was so, that when any man came nigh to him to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took him, and kissed him.”
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 it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.”
