He had a pair of saddled donkeys loaded with two hundred loaves of bread, one hundred clusters of raisins, one hundred bunches of summer fruit, and a clay jar of wine. The king said to Ziba, \u201cWhy do you have these?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ziba answered, \u201cThe donkeys are for the king\u2019s household to ride, the bread and summer fruit are for the young men to eat, and the wine is for those to drink who become exhausted in the wilderness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhere is your master\u2019s grandson?\u201d the king asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhy, he\u2019s staying in Jerusalem,\u201d Ziba replied to the king, \u201cfor he said, \u2018Today, the house of Israel will restore my grandfather\u2019s kingdom to me.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The king said to Ziba, \u201cAll that belongs to Mephibosheth is now yours!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI bow before you,\u201d Ziba said. \u201cMay I find favor with you, my lord the king!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Shimei Curses David<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>When King David got to Bahurim, a man belonging to the family of the house of Saul was just coming out. His name was Shimei son of Gera, and he was yelling curses as he approached. He threw stones at David and at all the royal servants, the people and the warriors on David\u2019s right and left. Shimei said as he cursed, \u201cGet out, get out, you man of bloodshed, you wicked man! The Lord has paid you back for all the blood of the house of Saul in whose place you became king, and the Lord has handed the kingdom over to your son Absalom. Look, you are in trouble because you\u2019re a man of bloodshed!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then Abishai son of Zeruiah said to the king, \u201cWhy should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Let me go over and remove his head!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The king replied, \u201cSons of Zeruiah, do we agree on anything? He curses me this way because the Lord told him, \u2018Curse David! \u2019 Therefore, who can say, \u2018Why did you do that? \u2019\u201d Then David said to Abishai and all his servants, \u201cLook, my own son, my own flesh and blood, intends to take my life \u2014 how much more now this Benjaminite! Leave him alone and let him curse me; the Lord has told him to. Perhaps the Lord will see my affliction and restore goodness to me instead of Shimei\u2019s curses today.\u201d So David and his men proceeded along the road as Shimei was going along the ridge of the hill opposite him. As Shimei went, he cursed David, threw stones at him, and kicked up dust. Finally, the king and all the people with him arrived exhausted, so they rested there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Absalom\u2019s Advisers<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Now Absalom and all the Israelites came to Jerusalem. Ahithophel was also with him. When David\u2019s friend Hushai the Archite came to Absalom, Hushai said to Absalom, \u201cLong live the king! Long live the king!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIs this your loyalty to your friend?\u201d Absalom asked Hushai. \u201cWhy didn\u2019t you go with your friend?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNot at all,\u201d Hushai answered Absalom. \u201cI am on the side of the one that the Lord, this people, and all the men of Israel have chosen. I will stay with him. Furthermore, whom will I serve if not his son? As I served in your father\u2019s presence, I will also serve in yours.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, \u201cGive me your advice. What should we do?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ahithophel replied to Absalom, \u201cSleep with your father\u2019s concubines whom he left to take care of the palace. When all Israel hears that you have become repulsive to your father, everyone with you will be encouraged.\u201d So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the roof, and he slept with his father\u2019s concubines in the sight of all Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now the advice Ahithophel gave in those days was like someone asking about a word from God \u2014 such was the regard that both David and Absalom had for Ahithophel\u2019s advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2 Samuel Chapter 17<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ahithophel said to Absalom, \u201cLet me choose twelve thousand men, and I will set out in pursuit of David tonight. I will attack him while he is weary and discouraged, throw him into a panic, and all the people with him will scatter. I will strike down only the king and bring all the people back to you. When everyone returns except the man you\u2019re looking for, all the people will be at peace.\u201d This proposal seemed right to Absalom and all the elders of Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then Absalom said, \u201cSummon Hushai the Archite also. Let\u2019s hear what he has to say as well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So Hushai came to Absalom, and Absalom told him, \u201cAhithophel offered this proposal. Should we carry out his proposal? If not, what do you say?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Hushai\u2019s Advice<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Hushai replied to Absalom, \u201cThe advice Ahithophel has given this time is not good.\u201d Hushai continued, \u201cYou know your father and his men. They are warriors and are desperate like a wild bear robbed of her cubs. Your father is an experienced soldier who won\u2019t spend the night with the people. He\u2019s probably already hiding in one of the caves or some other place. If some of our troops fall first, someone is sure to hear and say, \u2018There\u2019s been a slaughter among the people who follow Absalom.\u2019 Then, even a brave man with the heart of a lion will lose heart because all Israel knows that your father and the valiant men with him are warriors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cInstead, I advise that all Israel from Dan to Beer-sheba \u2014 as numerous as the sand by the sea \u2014 be gathered to you and that you personally go into battle. Then we will attack David wherever we find him, and we will descend on him like dew on the ground. Not even one will be left\u2014neither he nor any of the men with him. If he retreats to some city, all Israel will bring ropes to that city, and we will drag its stones into the valley until not even a pebble can be found there.\u201d Since the Lord had decreed that Ahithophel\u2019s good advice be undermined in order to bring about Absalom\u2019s ruin, Absalom and all the men of Israel said, \u201cThe advice of Hushai the Archite is better than Ahithophel\u2019s advice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>David Informed of Absalom\u2019s Plans<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Hushai then told the priests Zadok and Abiathar, \u201cThis is what Ahithophel advised Absalom and the elders of Israel, and this is what I advised. Now send someone quickly and tell David, \u2018Don\u2019t spend the night at the wilderness ford, but be sure to cross over the Jordan, or the king and all the people with him will be devoured.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jonathan and Ahimaaz were staying at En-rogel, where a servant girl would come and pass along information to them. They in turn would go and inform King David, because they dared not be seen entering the city. However, a young man did see them and informed Absalom. So the two left quickly and came to the house of a man in Bahurim. He had a well in his courtyard, and they climbed down into it. Then his wife took the cover, placed it over the mouth of the well, and scattered grain on it so nobody would know anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Absalom\u2019s servants came to the woman at the house and asked, \u201cWhere are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey passed by toward the water,\u201d the woman replied to them. The men searched but did not find them, so they returned to Jerusalem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After they had gone, Ahimaaz and Jonathan climbed out of the well and went and informed King David. They told him, \u201cGet up and immediately ford the river, for Ahithophel has given this advice against you.\u201d So David and all the people with him got up and crossed the Jordan. By daybreak, there was no one who had not crossed the Jordan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>David Arrived in Mahanaim<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>When Ahithophel realized that his advice had not been followed, he saddled his donkey and set out for his house in his hometown. He set his house in order and hanged himself. So he died and was buried in his father\u2019s tomb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>David had arrived at Mahanaim by the time Absalom crossed the Jordan with all the men of Israel. Now Absalom had appointed Amasa over the army in Joab\u2019s place. Amasa was the son of a man named Ithra the Israelite; Ithra had married Abigail daughter of Nahash. Abigail was a sister to Zeruiah, Joab\u2019s mother. And Israel and Absalom camped in the land of Gilead. When David came to Mahanaim, Shobi son of Nahash from Rabbah of the Ammonites, Machir son of Ammiel from Lo-debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite from Rogelim brought beds, basins, and pottery items. They also brought wheat, barley, flour, roasted grain, beans, lentils, honey, curds, sheep, goats, and cheese from the herd for David and the people with him to eat. They had reasoned, \u201cThe people must be hungry, exhausted, and thirsty in the wilderness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2 Samuel Chapter 18<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Absalom\u2019s Defeat<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>David reviewed his troops and appointed commanders of thousands and of hundreds over them. He then sent out the troops, a third under Joab, a third under Joab\u2019s brother Abishai son of Zeruiah, and a third under Ittai of Gath. The king said to the troops, \u201cI must also march out with you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou must not go!\u201d the people pleaded. \u201cIf we have to flee, they will not pay any attention to us. Even if half of us die, they will not pay any attention to us because you are worth ten thousand of us. Therefore, it is better if you support us from the city.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI will do whatever you think is best,\u201d the king replied to them. So he stood beside the city gate while all the troops marched out by hundreds and thousands. The king commanded Joab, Abishai, and Ittai, \u201cTreat the young man Absalom gently for my sake.\u201d All the people heard the king\u2019s orders to all the commanders about Absalom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then David\u2019s forces marched into the field to engage Israel in battle, which took place in the forest of Ephraim. Israel\u2019s army was defeated by David\u2019s soldiers, and the slaughter there was vast that day \u2014 twenty thousand dead. The battle spread over the entire area, and that day the forest claimed more people than the sword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Absalom\u2019s Death<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Absalom was riding on his mule when he happened to meet David\u2019s soldiers. When the mule went under the tangled branches of a large oak tree, Absalom\u2019s head was caught fast in the tree. The mule under him kept going, so he was suspended in midair. One of the men saw him and informed Joab. He said, \u201cI just saw Absalom hanging in an oak tree!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou just saw him!\u201d Joab exclaimed. \u201cWhy didn\u2019t you strike him to the ground right there? I would have given you ten silver pieces and a belt!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The man replied to Joab, \u201cEven if I had the weight of a thousand pieces of silver in my hand, I would not raise my hand against the king\u2019s son. For we heard the king command you, Abishai, and Ittai, \u2018Protect the young man Absalom for me.\u2019 If I had jeopardized my own life \u2014 and nothing is hidden from the king \u2014 you would have abandoned me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joab said, \u201cI\u2019m not going to waste time with you!\u201d He then took three spears in his hand and thrust them into Absalom\u2019s chest. While Absalom was still alive in the oak tree, ten young men who were Joab\u2019s armor-bearers surrounded Absalom, struck him, and killed him. Joab blew the ram\u2019s horn, and the troops broke off their pursuit of Israel because Joab restrained them. They took Absalom, threw him into a large pit in the forest, and raised up a huge mound of stones over him. And all Israel fled, each to his tent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Running with the News<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>When he was alive, Absalom had taken a pillar and raised it up for himself in the King\u2019s Valley, since he thought, \u201cI have no son to preserve the memory of my name.\u201d So he named the pillar after himself. It is still called Absalom\u2019s Monument today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ahimaaz son of Zadok said, \u201cPlease let me run and tell the king the good news that the Lord has vindicated him by freeing him from his enemies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joab replied to him, \u201cYou are not the man to take good news today. You may do it another day, but today you aren\u2019t taking good news, because the king\u2019s son is dead.\u201d&nbsp; Joab then said to a Cushite, \u201cGo tell the king what you have seen.\u201d The Cushite bowed to Joab and took off running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Ahimaaz son of Zadok persisted and said to Joab, \u201cNo matter what, please let me also run behind the Cushite!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joab replied, \u201cMy son, why do you want to run since you won\u2019t get a reward?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo matter what, I want to run!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThen run!\u201d Joab said to him. So Ahimaaz ran by way of the plain and outran the Cushite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>David was sitting between the city gates when the watchman went up to the roof of the city gate and over to the wall. The watchman looked out and saw a man running alone. He called out and told the king.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The king said, \u201cIf he\u2019s alone, he bears good news.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>David Learns that Absalom is Dead<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As the first runner came closer, the watchman saw another man running. He called out to the gatekeeper, \u201cLook! Another man is running alone!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis one is also bringing good news,\u201d said the king.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The watchman said, \u201cThe way the first man runs looks to me like the way Ahimaaz son of Zadok runs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is a good man; he comes with good news,\u201d the king commented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ahimaaz called out to the king, \u201cAll is well,\u201d and paid homage to the king with his face to the ground. He continued, \u201cBlessed be the Lord your God! He delivered up the men who rebelled against my lord the king.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The king asked, \u201cIs the young man Absalom all right?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ahimaaz replied, \u201cWhen Joab sent the king\u2019s servant and your servant, I saw a big disturbance, but I don\u2019t know what it was.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The king said, \u201cMove aside and stand here.\u201d So he stood to one side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just then the Cushite came and said, \u201cMay my lord the king hear the good news: The Lord has vindicated you today by freeing you from all who rise against you!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The king asked the Cushite, \u201cIs the young man Absalom all right?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Cushite replied, \u201cI wish that the enemies of my lord the king, along with all who rise up against you with evil intent, would become like that young man.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The king was deeply moved and went up to the chamber above the city gate and wept. As he walked, he cried, \u201cMy son Absalom! My son, my son Absalom! If only I had died instead of you, Absalom, my son, my son!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Close<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I am somewhat repulsed by the evil that met David along the road.&nbsp; It seems that he was escaping Absalom so that Jerusalem would be protected.&nbsp; His intention was always for good toward God and Israel.&nbsp; And here were these people \u2013 Ziba and Shimei \u2013 one came in deceit for his own gain and the other was just hateful.&nbsp; It reminds me of Jesus.&nbsp; He was innocent of the accusations but he kept his eyes straight ahead for the greater good; to fulfill what He had been called to do.&nbsp; Keep this procession and these names in mind\u2026I suspect their bad behavior will come back to haunt them\u2026don\u2019t you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, Joab is an interesting character, isn\u2019t he?&nbsp; By and large, I think he is devoted to David.&nbsp; But I don\u2019t think he totally understands him.&nbsp; David comes from a spiritual standpoint \u2013 a Godly perspective \u2013 while Joab, pure military; worldly.&nbsp; He has a tendency to rebel when David shows what he sees as any kind of weakness.&nbsp; We face this in our Christian walk every day, don&#8217;t we?&nbsp; The worldly perspective wars against the spiritual realm all the time.&nbsp; Heck, sometimes the two perspectives come from inside us, no outside challenges are necessary.&nbsp; On a minute-by-minute basis, we must do what it takes to hang onto the Godly perspective and not fall prey to \u201cgoing along with the crowd.\u201d&nbsp; What do you do to keep your eyes on Jesus?&nbsp; Let me know at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/liftinghervoice.com\/contact\/\">Lifting Her Voice<\/a>.com,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Lifting-Her-Voice-106516874715441\">Facebook<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/joy_blantonmiller\/\">Instagram<\/a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LiftingHerVoice\">Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>See You Tomorrow!<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for joining me here today.&nbsp; I pray that by spending time in His Word every day, you will by changed.&nbsp; Visit me at Lifting Her Voice.com with your comments and questions.&nbsp; And don\u2019t forget to visit the Blog page while you\u2019re there.&nbsp; If you like the podcast, it would be great if you\u2019d give it a five-star review and share it with everyone you know.&nbsp; Don&#8217;t forget to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.&nbsp; See you tomorrow!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unless otherwise noted, all Scripture quotations are taken from the Christian Standard Bible(r), Copyright (c) 2017 by Holman Bible Publishers.
