SEV Biblia, Chapter 18:32
El rey entonces dijo a Cusi: ¿El joven Absalón tiene paz? Y Cusi respondió: Como aquel joven sean los enemigos de mi señor el rey, y todos los que se levantan contra ti para mal.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 18:32
Verse 32. Is the young man Absalom safe?] This was the utmost of his solicitude, and it well merited the reproof which Joab gave him, chap. xix. 5.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 32. And the king said unto Cushi, is the young man Absalom safe ? etc.] The same question that was put to Ahimaaz, ( 2 Samuel 18:29); which shows what lay nearest his heart, and was uppermost in his mind, and Cushi answered, the enemies of my lord the king, and all that rise against thee to do [thee] hurt, be as [that] young man [is] , which was tacitly saying he was dead, and so David understood it; and he expressed it in such a manner, that David could not be displeased with the messenger; though the message was grievous to him.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 19-33 - By directing David to give God thanks for his victory, Ahimaaz prepare him for the news of his son's death. The more our hearts are fixed an enlarged, in thanksgiving to God for our mercies, the better dispose we shall be to bear with patience the afflictions mixed with them. Some think David's wish arose from concern about Absalom's everlastin state; but he rather seems to have spoken without due thought. He is to be blamed for showing so great fondness for a graceless son. Also for quarrelling with Divine justice. And for opposing the justice of the nation, which, as king, he had to administer, and which ought to be preferred before natural affection. The best men are not always in good frame; we are apt to over-grieve for what we over-loved. But whil we learn from this example to watch and pray against sinful indulgence or neglect of our children, may we not, in David, perceive a shadow of the Saviour's love, who wept over, prayed for, and even suffered deat for mankind, though vile rebels and enemies __________________________________________________________________
