SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:38
Y después que Absalón huyó y se fue a Gesur, estuvo allá tres años.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 38. So Absalom fled , etc.] This is the third time it is mentioned, and the reason of it here Abarbinel thinks is, that when he first fled to his grandfather, he used to stand openly in the court of his palace, and go with him wherever he went from place to place; but when he understood that his father mourned so for the death of Amnon, he was afraid he would send some person to lay hold on him, and take vengeance on him; and therefore he would go no more with the king from place to place, but went and abode in Geshur always, which was a fortified city, as it follows: and went to Geshur, and was there three years : and never went out of it, until he was fetched by Joab, as ( 2 Samuel 14:23) relates; nor is there anything in ( 2 Samuel 13:37,38) disturbed and mutilated, as Spinosa f234 intimates, but the whole is very expressive and emphatic.
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 __________________________________________________________________
