October 17, 2024 - 2 Samuel 18:6-18 6  So the army went out into the field against Israel, and the battle was fought in the forest of Ephraim.  7  And the men of Israel were defeated there by the servants of David, and the loss there was great on that day, twenty thousand men.  8  The battle spread over the face of all the country, and the forest devoured more people that day than the sword. 9  And Absalom happened to meet the servants of David. Absalom was riding on his mule, and the mule went under the thick branches of a great oak, and his head caught fast in the oak, and he was suspended between heaven and earth, while the mule that was under him went on.  10  And a certain man saw it and told Joab, “Behold, I saw Absalom hanging in an oak.”  11  Joab said to the man who told him, “What, you saw him! Why then did you not strike him there to the ground? I would have been glad to give you ten pieces of silver and a belt.”  12  But the man said to Joab, “Even if I felt in my hand

October 16, 2024 - 2 Samuel 18:1-5 18  Then David mustered the men who were with him and set over them commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds.  2  And David sent out the army, one third under the command of Joab, one third under the command of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, and one third under the command of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said to the men, “I myself will also go out with you.”  3  But the men said, “You shall not go out. For if we flee, they will not care about us. If half of us die, they will not care about us. But you are worth ten thousand of us. Therefore it is better that you send us help from the city.”  4  The king said to them, “Whatever seems best to you I will do.” So the king stood at the side of the gate, while all the army marched out by hundreds and by thousands.  5  And the king ordered Joab and Abishai and Ittai, “Deal gently for my sake with the young man Absalom.” And all the people heard when the king gave orders to all

October 15, 2024 - 2 Samuel 17:24-29 24  Then David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom crossed the Jordan with all the men of Israel.  25  Now Absalom had set Amasa over the army instead of Joab. Amasa was the son of a man named Ithra the Ishmaelite, who had married Abigal the daughter of Nahash, sister of Zeruiah, Joab's ‘mother.  26  And Israel and Absalom encamped in the land of Gilead. 27  When David came to Mahanaim, Shobi the son of Nahash from Rabbah of the Ammonites, and Machir the son of Ammiel from Lo-debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite from Rogelim,  28  brought beds, basins, and earthen vessels, wheat, barley, flour, parched grain, beans and lentils,  29  honey and curds and sheep and cheese from the herd, for David and the people with him to eat, for they said, “The people are hungry and weary and thirsty in the wilderness.” Don’t you love the provisions God provided through these men. They knew David and the people would be hungry and weary and thirsty. Our God is so

October 14, 2024 - 2 Samuel 17:15-22 15  Then Hushai said to Zadok and Abiathar the priests, “Thus and so did Ahithophel counsel Absalom and the elders of Israel, and thus and so have I counseled.  16  Now therefore send quickly and tell David, ‘Do not stay tonight at the fords of the wilderness, but by all means pass over, lest the king and all the people who are with him be swallowed up.’”  17  Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were waiting at En-rogel. A female servant was to go and tell them, and they were to go and tell King David, for they were not to be seen entering the city.  18  But a young man saw them and told Absalom. So both of them went away quickly and came to the house of a man at Bahurim, who had a well in his courtyard. And they went down into it.  19  And the woman took and spread a covering over the well's mouth and scattered grain on it, and nothing was known of it.  20  When Absalom's servants came to the woman at the house, they said, “Where are Ahimaaz and Jon

  October 13, 2024 - 2 Samuel 17:1-14 17 Moreover, Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Let me choose twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue David tonight. 2 I will come upon him while he is weary and discouraged and throw him into a panic, and all the people who are with him will flee. I will strike down only the king, 3 and I will bring all the people back to you as a bride comes home to her husband. You seek the life of only one man, and all the people will be at peace.” 4 And the advice seemed right in the eyes of Absalom and all the elders of Israel. 5 Then Absalom said, “Call Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear what he has to say.” 6 And when Hushai came to Absalom, Absalom said to him, “Thus has Ahithophel spoken; shall we do as he says? If not, you speak.” 7 Then Hushai said to Absalom, “This time the counsel that Ahithophel has given is not good.” 8 Hushai said, “You know that your father and his men are mighty men, and that they are enraged, like a bear robbed of her

October 12, 2024 - 2 Samuel 16:15-23   15  Now Absalom and all the people, the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.  16  And when Hushai the Archite, David’s friend, came to Absalom, Hushai said to Absalom, “Long live the king! Long live the king!”  17  And Absalom said to Hushai, “Is this your loyalty to your friend? Why did you not go with your friend?”  18  And Hushai said to Absalom, “No, for whom the Lord and this people and all the men of Israel have chosen, his I will be, and with him I will remain.  19  And again, whom should I serve? Should it not be his son? As I have served your father, so I will serve you.” 20  Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, “Give your counsel. What shall we do?”  21  Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Go in to your father’s concubines, whom he has left to keep the house, and all Israel will hear that you have made yourself a stench to your father, and the hands of all who are with you will be strengthened.”  22  So they pitched a tent

October 11, 2024 - 2 Samuel 16:5-14   5  When King David came to Bahurim, there came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera, and as he came he cursed continually.  6  And he threw stones at David and at all the servants of King David, and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.  7  And Shimei said as he cursed, “Get out, get out, you man of blood, you worthless man!  8  The Lord has avenged on you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned, and the Lord has given the kingdom into the hand of your son Absalom. See, your evil is on you, for you are a man of blood.” 9  Then Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, “Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Let me go over and take off his head.”  10  But the king said, “What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? If he is cursing because the Lord has said to him, ‘Curse David,’ who then shall say, ‘Why have you d
