2 Samuel - 15:1 Meaning

“And it came to pass after this, that Absalom prepared him chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him.”

King James Version (KJV)

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

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.
