Topic: Absalom stole the hearts of the
men of Israel (2 Samuel 15:6).
When David fled from his son Absalom, the situation seemed dire for him. Absalom had gained popularity among the people, and it appeared that the nation was
with him.
But it wasn’t long after that God delivered
the kingdom of Israel back into David’s hands. And though David did everything he could to protect his son, Absalom still lost his life (see 2 Samuel 18).
That is what always happens when a person harbors unforgiveness and revenge in his heart. He hurts the people around him unnecessarily and eventually destroy himself.
