3 And Absalom said to him, See, thy matters are good and right; but there is no man to hear thee [appointed] by the king.
(Read 2 Samuel 15:1-6)
David allows Absalom's pomp. Those parents know not what they do, who indulge a proud humour in their children: many young people are ruined by pride. And those commonly are most eager for authority who least understand its duties.
