Brother Robert continued the study of David.
2 Samuel 18
V19-26: Two runners. The last outran the first.
V27: The runner Ahimaaz was identified by the way he ran.
(Is our Christian walk in such a way that people can recognize us as Christians?)
V28-30: Ahimaaz tells David that he has won the war. When David inquires about Absalom, Ahimaaz sidesteps the question.
V31-32: Cushite, the first runner who was outran by Ahimaaz, arrived and told David that Absalom is dead.
V33: David mourns for his son, Absalom.
Chapter 19
V1-4: David’s mourning turned the peoples rejoicing into mourning. David stole their victory from them.
V5-7: Joab tells David that he is shamming the people because he is weeping over their enemy and that he needs to “straighten up” and go talk to the people before they leave him.
V8: David stood up and became a leader again.
