13 Now David called him, and he ate and drank before him, and he made him drunk ; and in the evening he went out to lie on his bed with his lord's servants , but he did not go down to his house .
Giving way to sin hardens the heart, and provokes the departure of the Holy Spirit. Robbing a man of his reason, is worse than robbing him of his money; and drawing him into sin, is worse than drawing him into any wordly trouble whatever.
