Today's readings are in II Samuel 14-16 and Psalms 3.
Absalom is the ultimate politician, good looking, sneaky and smart. It is said he "stole the hearts" of Israel. David hears of his plans and leaves to put himself in exile. As he leaves, he states his willingness again to put himself into God's hands for judgement.
Mephibosheth's servant, Ziba, takes gifts to David in an attempt to ingratiate himself with the king.
It really is a dramatic time.
