35 And Jonadab said unto the king, Behold, the king's sons come: as thy servant said, so it is.
35 Jonadab said to the king, "See, the king's sons have come; it has happened just as your servant said."
35 And Jonadab said to the king, "Behold, the king's sons have come; as your servant said, so it has come about."
35 Then Jonadab exclaimed to the king, "See! It's the king's sons coming, just as I said!"
35 And Jonadab said to the king, "Look, the king's sons are coming; as your servant said, so it is."
35 "Look!" Jonadab told the king. "There they are now! The king's sons are coming, just as I said."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Samuel 13:35
Commentary on 2 Samuel 13:30-39
(Read 2 Samuel 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.
