  • a soft heart

    What an interesting chapter. Why is taking a census so sinful? Is it because David turned his eyes onto his large army of fighting men rather than God? It says that God "incited" David and my commentary…

    Suicide. What a sad ending. Ahithophel thought that ending his life would end his problems. Maybe he felt in control by killing himself. Maybe he thought he wouldnt have to face life if he hung himself.…

    King David is a lot like God in this story. A good representation of Him! Just like Absolom killed Amnon and then ran away, so do I run from my problems at times. I dont want to see the Kings face when…
