2 Sam. 13:4• 4And he said unto him, Why art thou, being the king's son, lean from day to day? wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister. (2 Sam. 13:4)
• How often does Christ, the bread of life, not suffice a heart not in communion with God! (“Numbers 11” by J.N. Darby)
• But the solemn thing was that they said: “There is nothing at all beside this manna.” The manna is despised twice, the record of both being found in the book of Numbers only. In chapter 21, thirty-eight years after, when this generation had passed away, we find it again. (“Chapter 11.” by J.A. Taylor, of Worthing)
• Here they were contrasting the wilderness with Egypt; but thirty-eight years after they were not doing so. They thought they had just come to the land, and only had to pass through the land of Edom; but the king of Edom would not allow them to do so, and they had to turn back, and compass the whole land of Edom. It was like beginning the whole wilderness journey again, and there was murmuring, and again the manna was despised. That is why you get the fiery serpents, and what the Lord Jesus referred to in John 3:14. (“Chapter 11.” by J.A. Taylor, of Worthing)
