Sin's Banquet of Consequences- Part 1(9 of 14)
Series: 2 Samuel
Robert Dawson
2 Samuel 13
I grew up watching the old westerns, whether it was the old television shows or the movies. I still love them. Like so many, when it comes to the movies, John Wayne is my favorite. You've got McLintock, True Grit, Rooster Cogburn, The Shootist, War Wagon, The Sons of Katie Elder, The Cowboys and Big Jake, which is one of my absolute favorites.
You also have Rio Bravo starring, John Wayne, Dean Martin, Ricky Nelson, Angie Dickinson and Walter Brennan. It debuted in 1958. Classic John Wayne. Then you have Eldorado, starring John Wayne, Robert Mitchum, James Cann and Charlotte Holt. It debuted in 1966. Another quintessential John Wayne flick. (You can find them on Amazon Prime)
If you've seen Rio Bravo and then later watch El Dorado, or vice versa, you may have felt a twinge of déjà vu, and with good reason. While the characters may be different, a few back stories changed, an added twist or two, the movies are basically the same. It is the same major plot line. (I still love both of them)!
As I dug into 2 Samuel 13, I got the same kind of feeling I did when I watched these two classic Westerns, that I had already seen this story played out before. It was just being played out with a slightly different cast of characters with one major star returning, King David.
The plot line in 2 Samuel 13 is strangely and eerily similar to the one we read about in 2 Samuel 11 which chronicles David's great sins, adultery with Bathsheba and the murder of her husband Uriah.
As you look closely at chapter 13 you realize that it is not so much a repeat to the sad and sinful story recorded in chapter 11 but a continuation of it. It is the sequel to David's great disobedience.
Remember,
After David's sin, God sent the prophet Nathan to confront him.
David confessed his sin and repented before God.
God forgave and restored him to fellowship, but discipline was still ann ...
