Day 182 - 2 Samuel 17-18 & Proverbs 28

 Julie

Today was the final battle between David and his son. Although, they have had a strained relationship David still doesn't want to kill him and tells those he sends out not to and to treat him fairly. However, one of those he sends out chooses to kill Absalom. When David learns of his death he does grieve and even says that he should have been the one that died and not his son. Even through all that has happened he still loves him unconditionally.

Again, there are quite a few proverbs that could be talked about in today's reading. I wish I could focus on just one, but there is not just one to talk about, there were many. Although they are all meaningful in their own way.

This was an interesting series of events.  Even though David told them not to kill his son, someone chose to do it anyway.  I am not sure how that will play out.  I did see, as you did, that David did not want his son harmed and that he loved him no matter what had happened between them.  

This chapter starts in relation to leaders and leadership qualities.  It seems to go on about greed and doing the right thing, being faithful, and seeking wisdom.
