Barnes' Notes
The Septuagint adds, what is a good explanation, "but he did not vex the spirit of Amnon his son, because he loved him, because he was his first-born." This want of justice in David' s conduct, and favoritism to Amnon, probably rankled in Absalom' s heart, and was the first seed of his after rebellion.
