We — We shall certainly die, both thou, O king, who art therefore obliged to take care of thy successor, Absalom; and Absalom, who, if he do not die by the hand of justice, must shortly die by the necessity of nature: and Amnon too must have died in the common way of all flesh, if Absalom had not cut him off. Respect — So far as to exempt him from this common law of dying. Not expelled — He hath given laws to this purpose, that the man — slayer who is banished should not always continue in banishment, but upon the High — priest's death return to his own city.
