My lord must not think that they have killed all the young men, the king’s sons Only Amnon is dead This has been Absalom’s express intention ever since the day Amnon violated his sister Tamar By the appointment of Absalom this hath been determined.--Literally, upon Absalom's mouth it hath been set, an expression which has given rise to much variety of interpretation. The Authorised Version expresses the sense accurately. Verse 32. - By the appointment; literally, for upon the mouth of Absalom it was laid from the day he humbled Tamar his sister, "Mouth" is not the word we should have expected here, and the Syriac instead has "mind," and the Chaldee "heart."

More probably, however, it is a colloquial phrase, with no special application to Absalom; and the Syriac gives the true sense.Parallel Commentaries ...
