Contextual Overview

²¹ When King David heard the news, he was very angry. ²² Absalom did not say a word, good or bad, to Amnon. But he hated Amnon for disgracing his sister Tamar. ²³ Two years later Absalom had some men come to Baal Hazor, near Ephraim, to cut the wool from his sheep. Absalom invited all the king's sons to come also. ²⁴ Absalom went to the king and said, "I have men coming to cut the wool. Please come with your officers and join me." ²⁵ King David said to Absalom, "No, my son. We won't all go, because it would be too much trouble for you." Although Absalom begged David, he would not go, but he did give his blessing. ²⁶ Absalom said, "If you don't want to come, then please let my brother Amnon come with us." King David asked, "Why should he go with you?" ²⁷ Absalom kept begging David until he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with Absalom. ²⁸ Then Absalom instructed his servants, "Watch Amnon. When he is drunk, I will tell you, ‘Kill Amnon.' Right then, kill him! Don't be afraid, because I have commanded you! Be strong and brave!" ²⁹ So Absalom's young men killed Amnon as Absalom commanded, but all of David's other sons got on their mules and escaped.

let my brother: He urged this with the more plausibility because Amnon was the first-born, and presumptive heir to the crown; and he had dissembled his resentment so long and so well that he was not suspected. 2 Samuel 3:27, 2 Samuel 11:13-15, 2 Samuel 20:9, Psalms 55:21

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then said Absalom, if not,.... If it is not thy pleasure to go with me, if I cannot have the honour of thy company:

I pray thee, let my brother Amnon go with us; let me have the next mark of honour that can be given me, the presence of the king's eldest son, and heir to the crown; he seems to express affection for him, and a particular desire of his company, as if all ill will towards him was removed from him, and this would be a public declaration of reconciliation between them:

and the king said unto him, why should he go with thee? he particularly, he more than any other; David seems to have suspected some design, and it is strange he should not; and yet if he had, it is much, notwithstanding the pressing arguments used, he should let him go; or he might think it would be more expensive to have him than the rest, and therefore asks why he should desire his company above all others.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

He mentions Amnon as being the king’s first-born. If he could not have the king’s company, let him at least have that of the heir apparent, and the king’s other sons.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Samuel 13:26. Let my brother Amnon go — He urged this with the more plausibility, because Amnon was the first-born, and presumptive heir to the kingdom; and he had disguised his resentment so well before, that he was not suspected.
