SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:29
Y mandó Absalón por Joab, para enviarlo al rey; mas no quiso venir a él; ni aunque envió por segunda vez, quiso él venir.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 29. Therefore Absalom sent for Joab, to have sent him to the king , etc.] To introduce him into his presence, being uneasy to be thus confined at his own house, and not suffered to come to court: but he would not come to him ; knowing the king’s mind, and being unwilling to disoblige him by a troublesome solicitation: and when he sent again the second time, he would not come ; knowing his business with him; and perhaps between the first time of his sending and this he had sounded the king about it, and found it was not agreeable to him to admit him to access to him as yet.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 28-33 - By his insolent carriage toward Joab, Absalom brought Joab to plead for him. By his insolent message to the king, he gained his wishes. When parents and rulers countenance such characters, they will soon suffe the most fatal effects. But did the compassion of a father prevail to reconcile him to an impenitent son, and shall penitent sinners questio the compassion of Him who is the Father of mercies __________________________________________________________________
