SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:21
¶ Entonces el rey dijo a Joab: He aquí yo hice esto; por tanto ve, y haz volver al joven Absalón.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 14:21
Verse 21. And the king said unto Joab] It appears that Joab was present at the time when the woman was in conference with the king, and no doubt others of David's courtiers or officers were there also.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 21. And the king said unto Joab , etc.] Who was present, or but at a little distance, waiting the issue of this affair: behold now I have done this thing ; have agreed to recall Absalom, at the suit of this woman, which thou hast put her upon; or, according to the textual reading, “thou hast done this thing” f243 ; contrived this scheme, to let me know the mind of the people with respect to Absalom, or to represent to me the propriety of sending for him home: go, therefore, bring the young man Absalom again ; I give my consent to it, and you may send for him, or fetch him as soon as you please; it is thought he calls him a young man, to extenuate his crime, that it was done in youthful heat and passion, and therefore he should pass it over.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 21-24 - David was inclined to favour Absalom, yet, for the honour of his justice, he could not do it but upon application made for him, whic may show the methods of Divine grace. It is true that God has thought of compassion toward poor sinners, not willing that any should perish yet he is only reconciled to them through a Mediator, who pleads of their behalf. God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, an Christ came to this land of our banishment, to bring us to God.
