Title Ideas:Absolom’s plans. Consequences from sin and revenge. King David’s sorrow [grief].
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z10_2Sa_15_05.jpg)
King David’s first son was named Amnon, and his third son was named Absalom. Absolom had a beautiful sister named Tamar.Amnon lusted for Tamar, and one day he raped [forced] her [had sex with her]. Afterwards, he hated her.
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z10_2Sa_13_01.jpg)
Absolom wanted to avenge his sister’s [Tamar’s] shame. So, one day, Absalom invited all David’s sons to come [from Jerusalem to] eat a feast together [at another town]. During the feast, Absalom’s friends attacked Amnon and killed him [with their swords/knives].

Quickly, all of the other sons mounted their mules [donkeys / horses] and hurried back to Jerusalem.Absalom fled [ran away] to stay with his grandfather [in another city/kingdom] for some years.

King David felt sad and mourned [wept] many days for his son Amnon.After three years, David longed for [wanted to see] Absalom [again].
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z10_2Sa_13_03a.jpg)
David had an army [warriors]. The army commander [leader] was named Joab.
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z10_2Sa_14_01.jpg)
When Joab realized [saw; had seen] that King David longed for Absalom, Joab sent a wise old woman to beg David, “Please, allow Absalom to return to Jerusalem!”
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z10_2Sa_14_02.jpg)
So David ordered Joab, “Go find Absalom and bring him here [to Jerusalem]!” Joab did so.Then David told Joab, “Absalom must stay at his own house. He must not come see me [at my palace]!”
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z10_2Sa_15_05.jpg)
For two more years, Absalom did not see King David.Absalom let his hair grow long, and many people admired [praised] him because he was handsome [beautiful].
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z10_2Sa_14_03.jpg)
One day, when Absalom wanted to see [his father] David, he sent for Joab, and shouted at him, “Go to the king! Ask him why he has brought me [Absolom] to Jerusalem?’”
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z10_2Sa_14_04.jpg)
Joab did so, and King David summoned [sent for] Absalom. Absalom came and bowed down to the king. Then the two embraced [gave each other a family kiss.].
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z10_2Sa_15_01.jpg)
After this, Absalom bought a chariot [beautiful light-weight carriage] pulled by horses. He hired [paid] [50] men to run before him when he would climb into his chariot and go places [in the city and country].
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z10_2Sa_15_03.jpg)
Every morning, he went and stood beside a city gate. When people came to Jerusalem to talk with the king about their complaints, Absalom would offer to listen to them [first].
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z10_2Sa_15_02.jpg)
He would say to them, “Your complaint is just [valid], but the king and his judges will not listen to you. If I become [were] a judge, then I will [would] listen to your complaint and would give you justice [a right decision].
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z10_2Sa_15_04.jpg)
When people wanted to bow down before Absalom, he stopped them from doing so, and he embraced them [with a friendly kiss or greeting]. Many people in Israel began to like Absalom more than [they liked] King David.
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z10_2Sa_15_05.jpg)
Four years later, Absalom conspired [secretly planned] to kill [assassinate] King David and to become king over Israel in his place
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z10_2Sa_15_06.jpg)
One day, Absalom said to King David, “Let me go [to Hebron town] to worship the Lord!”David replied, “Go in peace [Yes, you may go]!”
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z10_2Sa_15_07.jpg)
At Hebron, Absalom sent messengers to all Israel’s [northern] tribal leaders. They said, “Order everybody, when they hear men blowing [making sounds with] trumpets [horns], they must shout, ‘Absalom is king [at Hebron]!’”
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z10_2Sa_15_08.jpg)
But a man [ran] hurried to report to King David, saying, “The Israelite [northern] tribes have made Absalom their king! They are going to come here with an army, and kill you and everyone in your palace!”
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z10_2Sa_15_09.jpg)
So David told everyone in the palace, “We must leave Jerusalem now [quickly], or Absalom and the norther tribes will kill us and destroy Jerusalem!”
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z10_2Sa_17_01.jpg)
King David ordered his army to be ready to fight against Absalom’s army. But he told Joab and the commanders, “Do not kill Absalom; keep him alive for me [so I won’t have more sorrow]!”
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z10_2Sa_18_01.jpg)
The two armies battled in a forest [area with many trees]. David’s army defeated Absalom’s army. While Absalom was escaping on a mule [donkey / horse], his long hair became entangled [caught] in the branches from a strong [solid] tree.
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z10_2Sa_18_02.jpg)
Joab and some soldiers found Absalom alive, hanging from the tree by his hair. But they disobeyed David’s order and killed Absalom with a spear [long knife].
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z10_2Sa_18_03.jpg)
Then Joab blew a trumpet, signaling to David’s army to stop fighting Absalom’s army. They threw Absalom’s dead body into a deep pit, and then threw stones into the pit to cover it.
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z10_2Sa_18_04.jpg)
Joab sent two messengers who ran to King David. They reported to him, “We bring you good news! Today, the Lord has rescued you from your enemies!”
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z10_2Sa_18_05.jpg)
When David asked them, “Is Absalom alive?” they replied, “Absalom is dead! May the same [may death] happen to all your enemies!”
![](https://static.globalrecordings.net/300x200/z10_2Sa_18_06.jpg)
Then King David felt overcome with grief [very sad]. He began to weep and cry bitterly, “Absalom! My son! Absalom! I wish I had died, and that you had lived!”
