Staying Faithful to the King
Robert Dawson
2 Samuel 15:13-22
One of the things people who love the bible appreciate is its openness and honesty about the messes and mistakes that occur in the lives of its brightest stars. It holds nothing back. If you are a faithful student or just a devotional reader of the Word of God you are acutely aware that some of the TV dramas cannot hold a candle to the some of the stories in Scripture.

David had a lot of wives and a lot of children a recipe for strife. David had a son named Absalom whose sister was Tamar. She was absolutely beautiful. They had a ½ brother Amnon. Amnon lusted after Tamar. The bible says that he mourned becau ...
