Oops of the Day

Absalom was a rebellious son who always defied his father though David did nothing but love him.

II Samuel 13, 14, 15, 19:4

Fact Of the Day 

No! Absalom’s brother raped his sister, Tamar but their father did not punish the rapist  (II Samuel 13:14; 21, 23;) 2 YEARS later, Absalom killed his rapist brother, then was banished for 3 YEARS  (II Samuel 14:13; 28-32).  Finally, someone convinced David to let Absalom come home.  So he allowed Absalom to return to Jerusalem but David refused to see him for another 2 YEARS.  After still another 4 YEARS, Absalom finally rebelled (II Samuel 15:7).  FOR 11 YRS. DAVID TREATED ABSALOM BADLY.  David loved God dearly and was a good warrior, but was not always a good father.
