Oops of the Day

Absalom was a rebellious son who never loved his father, David. But David was always the loving father anyway. 

II Samuel chapters 13-15 and II Samuel 19

Fact Of the Day

Absalom’s brother raped his sister, Tamar but their father did not punish the rapist  (II Samuel 13:14, 21, 23).   2 yrs later, Absalom had his rapist brother killed, then was banished for 3 years (II Samuel 14:13; 28-32).  A prophet convinced David to allow Absalom to return to Jerusalem.  But David refused to see him for another 2 yrs).  After another 4 years, Absalom finally rebelled (II Samuel 15:7). For 11 years, David all but disowned Absalom.
