SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:30
¶ Y estando aún ellos en el camino, llegó a David el rumor que decía: Absalón ha muerto a todos los hijos del rey, que ninguno de ellos ha quedado.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 13:30
Verse 30. Absalom hath slain all the king's sons] Fame never lessens but always magnifies a fact. Report, contrary to the nature of all other things, gains strength by going. Virgil has given, in his best manner, a fine personification of Fame or Evil Report. - AEN. iv., 173.
Extemplo Libyae magnas it Fama per urbes; Fama, malum qua non aliud velocius ullum, Mobilitate viget, viresque adquirit eundo, &c.
"Now Fame, tremendous fiend! without delay, Through Libyan cities took her rapid way; Fame, the swift plague, that every moment grows, And gains new strength and vigour as she goes," &c.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 30. And it came to pass while they were in the way , etc.] On their road homewards, before they got to Jerusalem: that tidings came to David ; perhaps brought by one who was at the entertainment, who upon seeing Amnon smitten, immediately rose up and fled with the news of it to David: saying, Absalom hath slain all the king’s sons, and there is not one of them left ; which he might suppose was the design of Absalom, and was done before that time; however, so it was ordered in Providence, that David, that rejoiced at the news of the death of Uriah, might be terrified with the tidings of the death of all his sons; and for a while it was as if it was really so, which occasioned the following behaviour in him.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 30-39 - Jonadab was as guilty of Ammon's death, as of his sin; such fals friends do they prove, who counsel us to do wickedly. Instead of loathing Absalom as a murderer, David, after a time, longed to go fort to him. This was David's infirmity: God saw something in his heart tha made a difference, else we should have thought that he, as much as Eli honoured his sons more than God __________________________________________________________________
