Just came across this this shabbos.
In the sefer מנחת תודה from ר חיים קניבבסקי,
On page 114 he quotes himself from his sefer טעמא דקרא
On the passuk ולא עצבו אביו מימיו לאמר מדוע ככה עשית
So he asks how can it be that דוד המלך would allow his son to do something wrong and not admonish him?
He answers that אדניהו never did anything wrong!!!!
The issue is that דוד המלך should have found an excuse to smack his son once in a while as the פסוק says יסר בנך ויניחך !!
Yes he says straight out that there was a טענה on דוד המלך for not figuring out a reason to be able to “HIT! ” his son. And the passuk where that concept comes from is יסר בנך.
Not like some posters want to claim that the passuk is not referring to physical מוסר
Please look up the passage before telling me I’m wrong. It’s short and seemingly unambiguous.
Again this is not a blanket clarion call to beat ones children.
Rather it shows that corporal punishment WAS an integral and necessary component of torah true Chinuch
