Good morning we are moving along; I hope this has become a habit to you.
We are starting in 2 Samuel 13
In this chapter Amnon, David's son wanted Tamar, his half sister, who was also the sister to Absalom. And he wanted her desperately; so he laid a trap to lay with her. And when she refused; he raped her and sent her away.
Absalom and Tamar had the same mother; while Amnon had a different mother; so Absalom waited two years and killed Amnon for raping his sister.
We can't help but remember what Nathan the prophet sentenced against David for sinning against the Lord by laying with Uriah the Hittites wife. Now all this evil is in the house of David.
39And the soul of king David longed to go forth unto Absalom: for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.
Absalom fled; and David was still worried sick about him as a father would a son; but he was comforted in Amnon being dead because at least he knew he was dead.
In 2 Samuel chapter 14
Joab didn't want Absalom to get away with this and wanted David to summon him back to Jerusalem; and Joab had a lady do all this talking and fibbing to David and finally David ordered Absalom to return to Jerusalem; but did not want to see Absalom.
23So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.
He started being pleasing to the people and being a politician. Thus he ended up stealing the hearts of the men of Israel. So David left Jerusalem for fear Absalom would raise up and kill the kings.
16And the king went forth, and all his household after him. And the king left ten women, which were concubines, to keep the house.
2 Samuel 16
As the king fled a man named Shimei out of Saul's family, who was still very bitter about the kingdom going to David, came and shouted at David and cursed him.
This guy did what is done in Iraq today how people throw rocks at US military men; he cast stones at David and all David's men. I could tell he was emotional and crazy; because he threw rocks at David's mighty men, who are proven killers.
Shimei called David a "bloody man" and Abishai the son of Zeruiah ask David the king, "Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, and take off his head." If David would have done so; it would not correct anything but look how easy David's men said that and they would have done it for David.
David was logical and reasonable; and said if my son wants to kill me (speaking of Absalom), what of this man from the house of Saul? Meanwhile, another prophecy spoken against David came to pass as Absalom slept with all his father's concubines who were left behind.
22So they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the house; and Absalom went in unto his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel.
2 Samuel 17
Now Ahithophel was giving the counsel to Absalom and they began to get better counsel so this guy went and got his house in order and killed himself. He did this because he knew that if Absalom didn't kill him later, David and his men surely would. So he settled with a suicide.
In 2 Samuel Chapter 18: Joab convinces David to fight back and stop running away from Absalom; and David agreed; but warned his men not to kill his son but to bring him back alive.
They battled and 20,000 men died and as Absalom got his head caught in the boughs of a great oak tree while riding his mule.
10And a certain man saw it, and told Joab, and said, Behold, I saw Absalom hanged in an oak.
The man did not kill the kings son; but Joab did putting three arrows in his heart while he was alive caught in the tree. Joab is a vengeful man, and will disobey orders to get revenge.
He did it was Abner (who killed his brother), and he did it here with Absalom (who burned his field). If you cannot control your emotions; it will come back and haunt you as all of this is haunting David who did not control his lustful emotions for Uriah the Hittites wife. In addition to that Joab had ten young men smote Absalom to make sure he was dead.
When this was reported to the king, he wept for his son like any loving parent would for their child who is not.
33And the king was much moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept: and as he went, thus he said, O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! would God I had died for thee, O Absalom, my son, my son!
6In that thou lovest thine enemies, and hatest thy friends. For thou hast declared this day, that thou regardest neither princes nor servants: for this day I perceive, that if Absalom had lived, and all we had died this day, then it had pleased thee well.
Here Joab was making a valid point. If the king keeps weeping for his son; all his servants will start to look at David weird saying, "this the son that was trying to kill you and us, and probably the rest of your family, why are you crying for him?"
So he advised David to stop and to carry on the administration. And David did so.
So a wise woman of the Benjamites got all the people to deal with Sheba, the man who did not want to deal with David, to shut him up because Joab and David's men were going to deal with that town. So they brought the man out and had him killed, giving his head to Joab.
David did return to Jerusalem and had to put those ten concubines into widowhood because of the Levite law that once a woman is gone into by another man by means of rape or adultery, the husband cannot go back unto her.
2 Samuel 21: Here in chapter 21 there was a famine 3 years in Jerusalem and David went to the Lord to see why and found out it was because Saul killed the Gibeonites in the land. This was not to be done because the league Joshua made with them.
The Gibeonites demanded 7 of Saul's sons be hanged; and this had to be done to stop the famine. And they hanged them in the hill before the LORD: and they fell all seven together, and were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, in the beginning of barley harvest.
2And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
David gives thanks and praises the Lord. This same prayer and song is found in Psalm chapter 18; thus letting us know that David did write many of the Psalms. This concludes today's reading. Join again tomorrow.

2 Samuel 15
1And it came to pass after this, that Absalom prepared him chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him. Since David would not come see Absalom; Absalom slowly plotted to take the kingdom of Israel from David.He started being pleasing to the people and being a politician. Thus he ended up stealing the hearts of the men of Israel. So David left Jerusalem for fear Absalom would raise up and kill the kings.
16And the king went forth, and all his household after him. And the king left ten women, which were concubines, to keep the house.

2 Samuel 19
1And it was told Joab, Behold, the king weepeth and mourneth for Absalom.6In that thou lovest thine enemies, and hatest thy friends. For thou hast declared this day, that thou regardest neither princes nor servants: for this day I perceive, that if Absalom had lived, and all we had died this day, then it had pleased thee well.

So he advised David to stop and to carry on the administration. And David did so.
2 Samuel 20
Another Benjamite was running across Israel telling people not to deal with David. We have to imagine the children of Benjamin, where Saul was from, probably did not like David because they feel he stole the kingdom.So a wise woman of the Benjamites got all the people to deal with Sheba, the man who did not want to deal with David, to shut him up because Joab and David's men were going to deal with that town. So they brought the man out and had him killed, giving his head to Joab.

The Lord does not let people break vows or covenants.
The Gibeonites demanded 7 of Saul's sons be hanged; and this had to be done to stop the famine. And they hanged them in the hill before the LORD: and they fell all seven together, and were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, in the beginning of barley harvest.
2 Samuel 22
1And David spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:2And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
David gives thanks and praises the Lord. This same prayer and song is found in Psalm chapter 18; thus letting us know that David did write many of the Psalms. This concludes today's reading. Join again tomorrow.
