Come! We must flee, David said

2 Samuel 15:13-37
Then David said to all his officials who were with him in Jerusalem, “Come! We must flee, or none of us will escape from Absalom. We must leave immediately, or he will move quickly to overtake us and bring ruin on us and put the city to the sword.”
Then the king said to Zadok, “Take the ark of God back into the city. If I find favor in the Lord’s eyes, he will bring me back and let me see it and his dwelling place again. But if he says, ‘I am not pleased with you,’ then I am ready; let him do to me whatever seems good to him.
Now David had been told, “Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” So David prayed, “Lord, turn Ahithophel’s counsel into foolishness.”
Why?
David and his followers immediately free from Jerusalem. For they afraid Absalom may ruin them.
Even under these situation, David trusted in the Lord, if God permitted he will return, if not, he won’t come back. So David asked the ark of the Lord remain stayed in Jerusalem.

為了避免殺戮所以沒有抵抗就逃離
沒有要求所有官員與他同行逃離。此時大衛最需要人跟隨他,大衛想到的不是保持自己的權位而是交給神。與押撒龍拉攏人心成強烈對比。
不是把約櫃當作附身符,而是自己是否站在約櫃那裡?掃羅把約櫃當附身符。
大衛完全相信神,把結果完全交給神。大衛不是為自己的權位。悔改是自己知道錯,接受一切安排。不是求神符合我所期待的。降伏神的安排。大衛的祭司願跟隨,但是大衛不要他們跟隨而是留在城裡。
降伏於神

How?
My way and my life is in the hands of the Lord.
