2 Samuel 14:1-20
Joab knew that the king's heart longed for Absalom. So Joab sent someone to Tokoa and had a wise woman brought from there. Joab put the words in his mouth, and she went to the king.
Like water spilled on the ground, which cannot be recovered, so we must die. But God does not take away life; instead, he devises設計 ways so that a banished person may not remain estranged疏遠 from him.
Joab pierces the king's defense much as Nathan had done, but with a fake偽裝 law-suit.
The time the appeal is to waive the next-of-kin's親屬的 duty to avenge his murdered relative.
Why?
The message for David is obvious. He is willing to overrule in the case of one of his subjects; why not for his heir?
Joab is a wise man and who really knew the heart of the king. He is a nice servant of David, but he also do something selfish for his personal profit or avenge instead of king's profit.
Life like water spilled on the ground, which cannot be recovered, so we must die since we born to this world, but God loves us, does not take away life, and he devises ways to that person may not remain estranged from him. The devies way is Jesus Christ save us from the dead.
How?
All of us must die in this world, but God devises a way to save us from dead.
