Context — Absalom’s Revenge on Amnon
25“No, my son,” the king replied, “we should not all go, or we would be a burden to you.” Although Absalom urged him, he was not willing to go, but gave him his blessing.
26“If not,” said Absalom, “please let my brother Amnon go with us.” “Why should he go with you?” the king asked.
27But Absalom urged him, so the king sent Amnon and the rest of his sons.
28Now Absalom had ordered his young men, “Watch Amnon until his heart is merry with wine, and when I order you to strike Amnon down, you are to kill him. Do not be afraid. Have I not commanded you? Be courageous and valiant!” 29So Absalom’s young men did to Amnon just as Absalom had ordered. Then all the other sons of the king got up, and each one fled on his mule.Cross References

2 Samuel 13:27 Summary
In this verse, King David agrees to send his son Amnon with Absalom, despite initially saying no, because Absalom persists in asking. This shows how important it is to be careful about who we listen to and to think about the potential consequences of our actions, as warned in Galatians 6:7-8. We can learn from King David's experience to seek wisdom and counsel, as seen in Proverbs 11:14, and to be mindful of the company we keep, just like the warning in 1 Corinthians 15:33. By being aware of these things, we can make better choices and stay on the right path, following God's guidance as described in Psalm 32:8-11.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did King David agree to send Amnon with Absalom despite initial reservations?
King David agreed because Absalom urged him, indicating that Absalom's persistence wore down the king's initial hesitation, much like the prophet's persistence in 1 Kings 19:1-18 when Elijah fled from Jezebel.
What role did Absalom's relationship with his father play in this decision?
Absalom's relationship with his father, King David, was complex, as seen in 2 Samuel 13:25, where the king gives Absalom his blessing, indicating a desire to please him, similar to how God desires a relationship with us, as seen in Jeremiah 31:3.
How did Absalom's actions reflect his character?
Absalom's actions, such as urging his father to send Amnon, reveal a cunning and manipulative character, reminiscent of Jacob's deception of Isaac in Genesis 27:1-40, highlighting the importance of honesty and integrity as seen in Proverbs 10:9.
What can we learn from King David's decision-making process in this verse?
King David's decision to send Amnon with Absalom despite initial reservations teaches us about the importance of seeking wisdom and counsel, as seen in Proverbs 11:14, and being mindful of the potential consequences of our actions, as warned in Galatians 6:7-8.
Reflection Questions
- How do I handle situations where someone is persuading me to do something that doesn't feel right, and what can I learn from King David's experience in this verse?
- In what ways can I be more mindful of the potential consequences of my actions, as seen in the outcome of King David's decision in this verse?
- How can I cultivate a stronger relationship with God, similar to the one described in Jeremiah 31:3, to guide my decision-making and actions?
- What are some ways I can apply the principles of honesty and integrity from Proverbs 10:9 to my everyday life, and how can I recognize when I'm being deceived or manipulated by others?
Gill's Exposition on 2 Samuel 13:27

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Samuel 13:27
And Absalom came to the king, and said, Behold now, thy servant hath sheepshearers; let the king, I beseech thee, and his servants go with thy servant. No JFB commentary on these verses.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 2 Samuel 13:27
It is strange that his urgent desire of Amnon’ s company raised no suspicion in so wise a king; but God blinded his mind, that he might execute his judgments upon David, and bring upon Amnon the just punishment of his lewdness.
Trapp's Commentary on 2 Samuel 13:27
2 Samuel 13:27 But Absalom pressed him, that he let Amnon and all the king’ s sons go with him.Ver. 27. But Absalom pressed him.] His so great importunity might well have begotten a jealousy and suspicion both in David and Amnon - had they not been infatuated - that some mischief was intended. But Deus quem destruit, dementiat. Let God make deranged whom he destroys.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Samuel 13:27
(27) He let Amnon go.—The LXX. adds at the end of this verse an explanatory gloss, “And Absalom made a feast like the feast of a king.”
Cambridge Bible on 2 Samuel 13:27
27. At the end of this verse, the Sept. adds, “And Absalom made a feast like the feast of a king.” The words may easily have dropped out of the Hebrew text owing to the similar endings of the sentences.
Whedon's Commentary on 2 Samuel 13:27
27. He let Amnon and all the king’s sons go — Hoping that perhaps this friendly feast might work for good, and deepen the friendship of all these sons.
