1Ki 1:6 | NETfull | 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 ^{▼▼ Or “disciplined.”} him ^{▼▼ 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. ^{▼▼ 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).} )
