2 Samuel13:7
7 Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy brother Amnons house, and dress him meat .
It is strange, that so wise and sagacious a Person, as David, did not see through so vain a pretence: but that must be ascribed partly to the Instincts of Nature, which generally preserve near Relations from such Monstrous Actions; and partly to God's Providence, which blinded David's Mind, that he might bring upon him the designed and threatned Judgments.
