2 Samuel 12:26 | Matthew Henry's Commentary
And Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city. — 2 Samuel 12:26
Source Coverage: 2 Samuel 12:26-31
To be thus severe in putting the children of Ammon to slavery was a sign that David's heart was not yet made soft by repentance, at the time when this took place. We shall be most compassionate, kind, and forgiving to others, when we most feel our need of the Lord's forgiving love, and taste the sweetness of it in our own souls.
