Amnon had a friend Say rather an enemy; for surely he proved himself to be such in a high degree, by the evil counsel he gave, issuing in Amnon's utter ruin of soul, as is too probable, as well as body. “He plainly perceived that Amnon's disease was some strong desire ungratified; and insinuated to him that he who was the king's son might give a loose to his desires, and despise the restraint of ordinary men! How vile was this advice! and how lamentable it is that the heirs of royalty, whose virtue is of much more consequence than that of meaner men, should yet be under more temptation to taint it from the poison of infectious flatterers.” Delaney.
