2 Samuel 15:3 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Thy matters are good and right: upon some very slight hearing of their case he approved it, that he might oblige all. No man deputed of the king to hear thee, to wit, none such as will do thee justice. The other sons and relations of the king, and the rest of the judges and rulers under him and them, are wholly corrupted, and swayed by favour or bribes; or, at least, not careful and diligent, as they should be; and my father being grown in years, is negligent of public affairs, leaving them wholly to their conduct.

2 Samuel 15:3

3 And Absalom said unto him, See, thy matters are good and right; but there is no man deputed of the king to hear thee.
