1Ki 1:6 | NET2full | STEP | (Now his father had never corrected him by saying , “ Why do you do such things ?” He was also very handsome and had been born right after Absalom . )

‏ 1 Kings 1:6

6 (Now his father had never corrected ^{▼▼tn Or “disciplined.”} him ^{▼▼tn Heb “did not correct him from his days.” The phrase “from his days” means “from his earliest days,” or “ever in his life.” See GKC 382 §119.w, n. 2.} by saying, “Why do you do such things?” He was also very handsome and had been born right after Absalom. ^{▼▼tn Heb “and she gave birth to him after Absalom.” This does not imply they had the same mother; Absalom’s mother was Maacah, not Haggith (2 Sam 3:4).})
