On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

At first he could not find in his heart to do justice on him; now he can almost find in his heart to take him into his favour again. This was David's infirmity.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Amnon's character, we have reason to think, was bad in other things; if he had not forsaken God, he would never have been given up to these vile affections. Godly parents have often been afflicted with wicked children; grace does not run in the blood, but corruption does.
