Let's the Lord involve in our daily business

2 Samuel 13:23-39
And Absalom never said a word to Amnon, either good or bad; he hated Amnon because he had disgraced his sister Tamar.
Two years later, when Absalom’s sheepshearers were at Baal Hazor near the border of Ephraim, he invited all the king’s sons to come there.
So Absalom’s men did to Amnon what Absalom had ordered. Then all the king’s sons got up, mounted their mules and fled.
This has been Absalom’s express intention ever since the day Amnon raped his sister Tamar.
After Absalom fled and went to Geshur, he stayed there for three years.  And King David longed to go to Absalom, for he was consoled concerning Amnon’s death.
The Strong king is a fatally weak father. Had David taken action he might have prevented both the murder and the later rebellion.
The story of the rape of Dinah in Genesis 34 gave her no voice. Here the writer lets us feel the agony of Tarmar. Her voice is clearly heard, for its own sake and to explain Absalom's hatred, revenge and eventual rebellion against the king.
The Chronicler's account omits both the rape and Absalom's rebellion. moving straight to the census of chapter 24.
Why?
Hatred's heart was embedded in David's home, for David did not process this sad event. He is a weak father.
Absalom expresses his revenge in his own way, but he has to fleed to Geshur for three years, left his home.
表面上是歡喜的宴會邀請,熱情邀約,背後卻是暗藏殺機。正如猶大以親嘴為標記。親嘴本來是熱情歡迎,卻是出賣耶穌。人心可畏
約拿達的冷血,如果沒有約拿達這件事不會發生,只死一個沒有關係,死一個和死許多人一樣,而且是兄弟鬩牆。
押撒龍知道犯罪了,逃到他外祖父的國中。 大衛不會處理家中的事,疏於教養孩子。尊重孩子過於尊重神!大衛的孩子聖經中沒有看到敬畏神,大衛在事業上是成功的,自己的家庭卻是失敗的。
我們在教會服事,更重要是有好的家庭見證。本章完全沒有提到神,都是人在當中的算計。
大衛家中有破口,以致孩子們沒有好見證。
This chapter has not mentioned God's name or prayed to the Lord, all are the story of people's scheme. David's home is mass, so there was a broken place and let the hate and killing exist.
How?
Don't walk with our own desire but with the leading of the Holy Spirit.
願我們在凡事上有神參予,使我們沒有破口。
