This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Sa_13:23 And it came to pass after two full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baalhazor, which [is] beside Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king’s sons.
Ver. 23. And it came to pass after two full years.] So long Absalom had dissembled his wrath, which is - as we use to say of Runnet - the older, the stronger: and so long Amnon had gone unpunished by the patience of God, and the fondness of his father. Now, therefore, subito tollitur qui diu toleratur, God taketh the sword in hand which David - as to Amnon - bore in vain, {Rom_13:4} and executed justice upon him by such an executioner as afflicted his soul with double grief.
That Absalom had sheepshearers.] At which times there used to be feasting, - see 1Sa_25:7, - as there is still in many places.
