II Samuel 15:6 And
on this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the king for judgment: so
Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel. Absalom weaseled his way
into the hearts of the people right under David’s nose. When someone had a
problem and brought it to the king, Absalom was standing at the door saying, “Too
bad. Now if I were the king I would solve your problem. But my father won’t do
anything for you. Too bad.” And so everyone began to wish Absalom were king.
After a terrible civil war, Absalom was killed and David was restored as the
rightful king. But why did all of this happen? David had sinned and taught his
children to sin too. David had not corrected his son and had enabled him to do
evil things. Remember: God sees everything. God hates sin and God will punish
sin.
