he was very wroth: The Septuagint and Vulgate add,
και ουκ ελυπησε το πνευμα Αμνων του υιου αυτου:, οτι ηγαπα αυτον:, οτι πρωτοτοκος αυτου ην:.
et noluit contristare spiritum Amnon filii sui, quoniam diligebat eum, quia primogenituj erat ei:.
"But he would not grieve the soul of Amnon his son, for he loved him because he was his first-born." The same addition is found in Josephus; and it is probable that it once formed a part of the Hebrew Text. 2 Samuel 3:28-29, 2 Samuel 12:5, 2 Samuel 12:10; Genesis 34:7; 1 Samuel 2:22-25, 1 Samuel 2:29; Psalms 101:8
