2 Samuel 18 "Absalom, Absalom!" (Thursday 11/27/25)

2 Samuel 18 records the climactic battle between David’s forces and Absalom, ending with Absalom’s tragic death caught in a tree as he flees. Even in victory, David is crushed with grief, showing the painful tension between justice for a rebel and the love of a father. The chapter reminds us that sin tears families apart, but God remains faithful even in the aftermath of rebellion, loss, and heartbreak.
