2 SAMUEL CHAPTER 14
Joab suborning a widow of Tekoah by a parable to incline the king’s heart to fetch home Absalom, bringeth him to Jerusalem, but not into David’s sight, 2Sa_14:1-24. Absalom’s beauty, hair, and children, 2Sa_14:25-27. After two years Joab bringeth, him into the king’s presence, 2Sa_14:28-33.
He desired to see him, but was ashamed to show kindness to one whom God’s law and his own conscience obliged him to punish; and wanted a fair pretence, which therefore Joab gave him.
