2 Samuel 13:27 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 13:27

But Absalom pressed him
Which one would think would have increased his suspicion, if he had any, or have raised it in him; but his mind was blinded, that Amnon's incest might be punished and the threatening to David and his house be fulfilled on account of the affair of Uriah and Bathsheba:

that he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him;
if he had any suspicion at all, he might choose they should all go, that they might protect and defend him, if any attempt was made upon him; or, as others think, that no exceptions might be taken, as might be, if Amnon had gone alone.

25 Y respondi贸 el rey 谩 Absalom: No, hijo m铆o, no vamos todos, porque no te hagamos costa. Y aunque porfi贸 con 茅l, no quiso ir, mas bend铆jolo.
26 Entonces dijo Absalom: Si no, ru茅gote que venga con nosotros Amn贸n mi hermano. Y el rey le respondi贸: 驴Para qu茅 ha de ir contigo?
27 Y como Absalom lo importunase, dej贸 ir con 茅l 谩 Amn贸n y 谩 todos los hijos del rey.
28 Y hab铆a Absalom dado orden 谩 sus criados, diciendo: Ahora bien, mirad cuando el coraz贸n de Amn贸n estar谩 alegre del vino, y en dici茅ndoos yo: Herid 谩 Amn贸n, entonces matadle, y no tem谩is; que yo os lo he mandado. Esforzaos pues, y sed valientes.
29 Y los criados de Absalom hicieron con Amn贸n como Absalom lo hab铆a mandado. Levant谩ronse luego todos los hijos del rey, y subieron todos en sus mulos, y huyeron.
