Death of Absalom, Saturday, April 14, 2012



Today's reading is in II Samuel 16-18 and 19:1-4.  The adventures of David and his son Absalom are crisscrossed with spies, intrigue, shame and sadness.  Even when being pursued by Absalom's troops, David pleads with his commanders to "be gentle with Absalom".  Of course, this did not happen and David is once again mourning for a son.
