God supports the one who is with the Lord

2 Samuel 18:1-18
Joab didn't listen to the word of David, he insisted to kill Absalom when he heard his message. Even his man reported he saw Absalom was hanging in an oak tree.
During his lifetime Absalom had taken a pillar and erected it in the King's Vally as a monument to himself, for he had no son to carry on the memory of his name.
It is called Absalom's Monument.
Why?
David's defeat of Absalom is God's victory.
Joab's orders are to spare David's son, but he is shrewd enough to see that only the death of the pretender- or the king- can settle the issue. David did not forgive Joab for Absalom's death.
It was ironic that the young man's beautiful hair should tangle in the oak and leave him a helpless prey.
How?
God is stands on the side who is with Him. David was prayed to the Lord even when he is distressed.
