Been with thee — Behold, and imitate the modesty of scripture expressions. Brother — Wherefore thou must forgive and forgot the injury; therefore thy disgracing of him will be a blot to us all; therefore thou wilt not get right from David against him, because he is as near and dear to him as thou; therefore thy dishonour is the less, because thou wast not abused by any mean person, but by a king's son; therefore this evil must be borne, because it cannot be revenged: and thus he covers his design of taking vengeance upon him at the first opportunity. Regard not — So as to torment thyself. Desolate — Through shame and dejection of mind, giving her self up to solitude and retirement.
