2 Samuel 14:26-33

Listen to 2 Samuel 14:26-33
26 Y cuando se afeitaba la cabeza (lo cual lo afeitaba al fin de cada a帽o, pues le causaba molestia, y por eso se lo afeitaba), pesaba el cabello de su cabeza doscientos siclos seg煤n el peso del rey
27 Y le nacieron a Absal贸n tres hijos, y una hija que se llam贸 Tamar, la cual era hermosa de ver
28 Y estuvo Absal贸n por espacio de dos a帽os en Jerusal茅n, y no vio el rostro del rey
29 Y mand贸 Absal贸n por Joab, para enviarlo al rey; mas no quiso venir a 茅l; ni aunque envi贸 por segunda vez, quiso 茅l venir
30 Entonces dijo a sus siervos: Bien sab茅is las tierras de Joab junto a mi lugar, donde tiene sus cebadas; id, y prenderles fuego; y los siervos de Absal贸n prendieron fuego a las tierras
31 Se levant贸 por tanto Joab, y vino a Absal贸n a su casa, y le dijo: 驴Por qu茅 han puesto fuego tus siervos a mis tierras
32 Y Absal贸n respondi贸 a Joab: He aqu铆, yo he enviado por ti, diciendo que vinieras ac谩, a fin de enviarte yo al rey a que le dijeras: 驴Para qu茅 vine de Gesur? Mejor me fuera estar a煤n all谩. Vea yo ahora la cara del rey; y si hay en m铆 iniquidad, m谩teme
33 Vino, pues, Joab al rey, y se lo hizo saber. Entonces llam贸 a Absal贸n, el cual vino al rey, e inclin贸 su rostro a tierra delante del rey; y el rey bes贸 a Absal贸n

2 Samuel 14:26-33 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO SECOND SAMUEL 14

This chapter relates that Joab, perceiving David's inclination to bring back Absalom, employed a wise woman of Tekoah to lay before him a feigned case of hers, drawn up by Joab, whereby this point was gained from the king, that murder might be dispensed with in her case, 2Sa 14:1-20; which being applied to the case of Absalom, and the king finding out that the hand of Joab was in this, sent for him, and ordered him to bring Absalom again, though as yet he would not see his face, 2Sa 14:21-24; and after some notice being taken of the beauty of Absalom's person, particularly of his head of hair, and of the number of his children, 2Sa 14:25-27; it is related, that after two full years Absalom was uneasy that he might not see the king's face, and sent for Joab, who refused to come to him, till he found means to oblige him to it, who, with the king's leave, introduced him to him, 2Sa 14:28-33.
