Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Samuel 13:25

25 And the king said to Absalom, Nay, my son, let us not all now go, lest we be chargeable unto thee. And he pressed him : howbeit he would not go, but blessed him .

Pretending great desire of his presence there, to prevent any jealousies, which otherwise he thought would arise in the Breast of a King so wise and experienced, and under the expectation of Gods dreadful judgments to be inflicted upon his Family.

Dismissed him with thanks for his kindness, and with his Fatherly blessing.
