13:35 And Jonadab said unto the king, Behold, the king's sons come: as thy servant said, {o} so it is.
(o) That only Amnon is dead.
13:30-39 Jonadab was as guilty of Ammon's death, as of his sin; such false friends do they prove, who counsel us to do wickedly. Instead of loathing Absalom as a murderer, David, after a time, longed to go forth to him. This was David's infirmity: God saw something in his heart that made a difference, else we should have thought that he, as much as Eli, honoured his sons more than God.
