George Haydock's Catholic Commentary

2 Samuel 19:6

Thee. What insolence! Kings are often forced to brook the affronts of their higher servants, as well as other masters. There is a gradation in human affairs, which make the next in dignity and power think himself equal to the highest. Similis ero altissimo, Isaias xiv. 14. (Haydock) --- David sincerely desired the welfare of all his people, as well as of Absalom. (Menochius)
