2 Samuel 14:1 | Matthew Henry's Commentary
Now Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king's heart was toward Absalom. — 2 Samuel 14:1
Source Coverage: 2 Samuel 14:1-20
We may notice here, how this widow pleads God's mercy, and his clemency toward poor guilty sinners. The state of sinners is a state of banishment from God. God pardons none to the dishonour of his law and justice, nor any who are impenitent; nor to the encouragement of crimes, or the hurt of others.
