Brother Robert continued the study of David.
2 Samuel 13
V15-18, Worldly example of the consequences of lust. Once the chase is over, lust will turn into hate.
V19, Outward grief is good.
V20, Absalom did not give wise council in having Tamar suppress her grief.
V21, David was angry but did not take action. No punishment was given. No council was given.
Bitterness will grow into malice – Ephesians 4:31-32
V22-29, Absalom plotted Annon’s demise.
V30-31, David accepted with mourning not disbelief that Absalom killed all of his sons.
(Note: David is not surprised that Absalom could do this.)
Conclusion; David was a good king but not a good parent. We as parents need to be active in the lives of our children and grandchildren.
