Amnon's sin led to a cascade of grief and tragedy within David's family. The Importance of Justice and Righteousness The lack of immediate justice for Tamar's suffering led to further sin and violence. Upholding justice and righteousness is crucial in preventing further harm. The Role of Grief in Healing Grieving is a natural and necessary response to loss and tragedy. It is important to allow oneself to mourn and seek comfort in God and community. Family Dynamics and Forgiveness Family relationships can be complex and fraught with tension. Forgiveness and reconciliation, though difficult, are essential for healing and restoration. God's Presence in Suffering Even in the midst of deep sorrow and tragedy, God is present and offers comfort to those who turn to Him.Verse 36. - The king also and all his servants wept very sore. The narrative sets very clearly before us the great terror of the king, who at first supposes that all his sons are murdered; there is then suspense while Jonadab suggests that one only has been sacrificed to private vengeance; then quickly comes the watchman's report of the appearance of much people rapidly descending the hillside, and this is followed by the hasty rush of the fugitives into his presence, and the terrible certainty that one son has, with long premeditated malice, murdered his brother. And as he wept, David, we may feel sure, thought of Uriah, murdered because of his own base passions, whereas Amnon had brought death upon himself by following, alas! the example of his own father. He would think, too, of the words of his sentence, that "the sword should never depart from his house." It had claimed one victim, and who could now stop the outburst of angry passions in a family which previously had dwelt in kindly friendship? Probably, too, he reproached himself for not punishing Amnon. Had he done so with sufficient severity to have satisfied Absalom, he would have saved the life of his firstborn, and not have driven his second son into terrible crime. He had not done so because his own sins had tied his hands. Yes; David had good reason for weeping sore. Parallel Commentaries ...
