2 Samuel - 12:30 Meaning
“And he took their king's crown from off his head, the weight whereof was a talent of gold with the precious stones: and it was set on David's head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city in great abundance.”
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.”
