And Absalom, whom we anointed over us, etc.] To be king; which either was really done by Absalom’s party, or in effect by proclaiming and appointing him king: is dead in battle; which shows the thing was not of God, and by which means they were released from their oath of allegiance to him: now therefore why speak ye not a word of bringing the king back? nobody speaks of it, gives the least hint of it, or shows any concern about it; but the greatest coldness and indifference, as if it was a matter of no importance.
