And his father had not displeased him at any time in saying, Why hast thou done so? and he also was a very goodly man; and his mother bare him after Absalom.
His father had never corrected him or asked him, 'Why did you do that?' He was also very handsome, and his mother gave birth to him after Absalom was born.
This verse is describing how Adonijah's father (King David) had never disciplined or questioned him, and mentions that he was good-looking and born after his brother Absalom.
📚 Historical Context
This verse refers to Adonijah, one of King David's sons, who was attempting to claim the throne as David grew old. The context reveals a pattern in David's parenting - he had similarly failed to discipline his son Absalom, who later rebelled against him. This lack of parental correction was contributing to another family crisis as David's reign neared its end.
