Wesley: 2Sa 13:29 - Commanded

Now the threatened sword is drawn in David's house, which will not depart from it. His eldest son falls by it, thro' his own wickedness, and his father by his connivance is accessory to it.

JFB: 2Sa 13:29 - every man gat him up upon his mule

This had become the favorite equipage of the great. King David himself had a state mule (1Ki 1:33). The Syrian mules are, in activity, strength, and capabilities, still far superior to ours.

Poole: 2Sa 13:29

Mules were in use amongst the Israelites. See 1Ki 1:33 . For though they might not promote such mixed kinds of procreation, Lev 19:19 , yet they might use creatures so engendered.

Haydock: 2Sa 13:29 - Mule

Mule. This is the first time we find these animals used to ride on. The judges had fair asses. These mules were not the offspring of horses and asses. They bear young in Syria, (Aristotle, anim. vi. 24.) and are little inferior to horses in size, though they are shaped like our mules. (Aristotle, anim. xxxvi.)

Gill: 2Sa 13:29 - And the servants of Absalom did unto Amnon as Absalom had commanded // then all the king's sons arose // and every man gat him up upon his mule, and fled

And the servants of Absalom did unto Amnon as Absalom had commanded,.... They smote him, and killed him, when he gave the word:

then all the king's sons arose; from the feast, imagining they were all designed to be slain:

and every man gat him up upon his mule, and fled; creatures much used in Judea instead of horses, which, though they might not be bred, might be used ^o.
