Verse 14. Earth; so great was the distress of the people at the absence of their darling prince. Bible.—His death would not bring Amnon to life again. We must not cherish sentiments of eternal enmity.—Perish. Chal. “a just judge cannot take the money of iniquity.” Le Clerc, “And cannot the prince (or judge) pardon a man, and devise means to leave his son no longer in exile?” Calmet.—Prot. “neither doth God respect any person; yet doth he devise means, that his banished son be not expelled from him.” Let the king imitate this example. Bible.
