Comment and 8uggestlve Thought.
Tho Young Man Absalom. Absalom
was the Bon of Mnacnh, n princess, the
daughter of Talmnl, king of Gosh'ur,
a region northeast of tho Sea of Gall
Ico in the foothills or tho Lebanon
mountains. Ho was born soon ortor
David bocame king or Israol, and
hence was between 25 nnd 30 yearn
old at tho tlmo or his rebellion.
Hia Inheritance. Being tho descend
ant or kings in both lines or descent,
or distinguished appcaranco and
princely manners, AbBalom Inherited
"all tho handsomeness, mnnlv Imnr.
ing, nnd beauty or his rathor's hand
some and manly house. Tho sacred
writer expatiates with evldont relish
upon Absalom's extraordinary boauty.
In all Israol there was none to be so
much praised as Absalom for hia
beauty. From the solo of his foot
oven to tho crown of his head thero
was no blemish In him. And tho hair
of his head is a proverb to this day."
Alexander Why to.
But this was not all ho iahorited.
From his mother he inherited all that
a corrupt court and heathen tendon
cles nnd environment had impressed
upon her nature. From his father he
inherited a great mind, a strong will,
a largo nature, strong passions, but al
so a power of self-control, an enlight
ened conscience, n religious nature,
and all that the .training of his Beth
lehem homo could Impress upon his
character.
Conditions Favorable to a Chango'ot
Government. 1. It wag a time or gen
oral peace throughout tho wide em
pire. For all restless, warlike spirits
an opportunity was given for internal
dissension, fault-finding, and opposi
tion.
2. Thero was a growing dissatis
faction with tho king. Tho business
of tho law courts, over which tho king
himself presided, had become too vast
to bo attended to by ono man. Ap
peals from Inferior Judges nnd cases
brought directly boforo tho king could
not all recelvo a rnlr hearing.
3. David was very busy preparing
materials and gathering money ror a
futuro temple. Nothing was visibly
accomplished, yet the taxes wero high.
4. David would naturally at his ago
bo less activo, less In the people's
eye, doing less for tho outward glory
of the kingdom.
5. It is possible that tho ovonts de
scribed in tho last chaptor of 2 Sam
uel took place before this time. Tho
enrollment would bo unpopular. The
plaguo that followed would Intensify
the discontent.
C. In this cobo David waa near tho
end of life, and Absalom would try
not so much U tnko his fathor'B king
dom from him, as to insure that he
himself should be tho aucccssor.
V. 1. "Propared him chariots and
horses and 50 men to run boforo him."
Tho orientals aro vory fond or such
display. Dr. Trumbull says when his
fiH V'andso!no young "Sale"
k,Vl 8Car,,C ftn(. bluo and
reen L?"d Bold ran boforo thorn. at tho
top of his spocd, calling out for a clear
path among tho camels and donkeys
and, foot passengers. Orlontal Social
Life, p. 215.
V. 2. "Absalom rose up early" to bo
on hand when tho pcoplo camo to pro
sent their cases to tho king. Business
In tho east Is hold early, in order to
escapo tho heat of tho day. Thoy re
tired early, for modern lights wore not
ln tholr houses for pvenlng work
Kings therefore held courts ln tho
early morning. "Beside the way of tho
gate." Thero was usually an opon
markot plnco near tho gates for busi
ness nnd public mcotlngs.
Wo should tnqulro of our own
hearts whether wo aro grateful to
God for all his benefits to us, and
whether we aro showing oui gratltudo
by our lives.
The story of King Lear la a com
mentary on ingratitude,
V. 7. "And it camo to paw after 40
years." Somo think this numbor is
counted from tho beginning of David's
rolgn, but most regard It us a tran
scriber's error for four, a mistako
easily made when numbers wero des
ignated by letters often vory similar.
Tho R. V. margin eayBj "Somo ancient
authorities road 'four years. " So does
Joaephus. "Lot mo go and pay my
vow, . . j in Hebron." A placo
conveniently distant for his purposo,
and at tho beginning or David's rolgn
tho capital or Judoa.
Far worse than Ingratltudo of man
is ingratltudo of children to parent
