2 Samuel - 12:26 Meaning
“And Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
12:26-31 To be thus severe in putting the children of Ammon to slavery was a sign that David's heart was not yet made soft by repentance, at the time when this took place. We shall be most compassionate, kind, and forgiving to others, when we most feel our need of the Lord's forgiving love, and taste the sweetness of it in our own souls.
“And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.”
