2 Samuel - 18:16 Meaning

“And Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing after Israel: for Joab held back the people.”

King James Version (KJV)

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

18:9-18 Let young people look upon Absalom, hanging on a tree, accursed, forsaken of heaven and earth; there let them read the Lord's abhorrence of rebellion against parents. Nothing can preserve men from misery and contempt, but heavenly wisdom and the grace of God.
