Series: 365 Day Journey Through the Bible

2 Samuel 16 - 1 Kings 9
Day 99 April 9 - 2 Samuel 16, 17, and 18
David and his entourage are in hiding and as they are maneuvering their way to the wilderness one of his critics is found following him, cursing him, and hurling rocks at him. Shimei was related to King Saul and he still had harsh feeling towards David and his reign. One of David's men wanted to go and slay the loudmouthed rock thrower but David would not allow it. He said that his very own son was trying to kill him and even more so this relative of Saul. David was a man of much patience and was honorable in his dealings with others, of course except for Uriah the Hittite. The king was not always trying to throw his weight around but displayed meekness and humility in dealing with others. That is a trait that we all need to add to our repertoire.

There are truly only a few people that one can trust with their very lives and David had a few. He was placing his very life in their hands and in their ability to infiltrate the dealings of his son, Absalom.

III - Sorrows In the Hierarchy (2 Samuel 19)
Point to Ponder
David is now completely immersed himself and all of his clan on the wilderness side of Jordan and there they are going to find some much needed supplies. We read about Shobi, Machir, and Barzillai bringing them beds, basins, utensils, and various foods.
Point to Ponder
Machir was previously mentioned in the bible as the man that had given Mephibosheth a place to live after the ...
