mhcc@1Samuel:26 @ Henry'_1__25 ****** 1st Samuel 26 ****** *** Outline of 1st Samuel 26 *** Saul goes after David, who again spares Saul's life. (_1-12.) David exhorts Saul. (_13-20.) Saul acknowledges his sin. (_21-25.) *** Commentary ***

mhcc@1Samuel:26:21-25 @ Verse 21-25 - Saul repeated his good words and good wishes. But he showed no evidence of true repentance towards God. David and Saul parted to meet no more. No reconciliation among men is firm, which is not founded in an cemented by peace with God through Jesus Christ. In sinning against God, men play the fool, and err exceedingly. Many obtain a passing view of these truths, who hate and close their eyes against the light. Fair professions do not entitle those to confidence who have long sinned against the light, yet the confessions of obstinate sinners may satisfy us that we are in the right way, and encourage us to persevere, expecting our recompence from the Lord alone.

mhcc@2Chronicles:33 @ Henry'_2__32 ****** 2nd Chronicles 33 ****** *** Outline of 2nd Chronicles 33 *** Manasseh's and repentance. (_1-20.) Amon's wicked reign in Judah. (_21-25.) *** Commentary ***

mhcc@2Chronicles:33:21-25 @ Verse 21-25 - Amon's father did ill, but he did worse. Whatever warnings or convictions he had, he never humbled himself. He was soon cut off in his sins, and made a warning for all men not to abuse the example of God's patience and mercy to Manasseh, as an encouragement to continue in sin. May God help us to be honest to ourselves, and to think aright respecting our own character, before death fixes us in an unchangeable state. Henry'_2__34 **** Matthew Henry's Commentary **** _
