1 Kings 1:6

(Now his father had never corrected ¹  him ²  by saying, “Why do you do such things?” He was also very handsome and had been born right after Absalom. ³ )

1Sa 3:13; 1Sa 9:2; 1Sa 10:23; 2Sa 3:3,4; 2Sa 14:25; 1Ch 3:2; Pr 22:15; Pr 23:13,14; Pr 29:15; Heb 12:5,6

¹ tn Or “disciplined.”

² 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.

³ 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).
