The Church Fathers on this verse

2 Kingdoms (2 Samuel) 3:8Meaning & Commentary from the Church Fathers

Why didst thou go in to my father's concubine? And he was exceedingly angry for the words of Isboseth, and said: Am I a dog's head against Juda this day, who have shewn mercy to the house of Saul thy father, and to his brethren and friends, and have not delivered thee into the hands of David, and hast thou sought this day against me to charge me with a matter concerning a woman?

Douay-Rheims
