Last week as we were studying in chapter 14, we began to see the unfolding of consequences for the sin that David allowed in his life. The adultery with Bathsheba, causing her husband to die at the hands of the Ammonites, and then taking Bathsheba as his wife, were all part of the greatest failure of David's life.

The consequences also began to be lived out in his family. His son, Amnon, had raped his half-sister, Tamar, but David was paralyzed by his own sin and took no action. Finally, Tamar's brother, Absalom, took matters into his own hands and arranged for Amnon's death. Absalom then fled the country and was banished for three years while again David took no action.

Finally, David extended mercy to Absalom and had him brought back to Jerusalem, but would not see his face. For two more years bitterness built up in Absalom’s heart. Finally, Absalom pleaded to see David's face and when David agreed to see him, David kissed Absalom's face.

But it was too little, too late. Absalom decided to build a conspiracy against David. He positioned himself at the gate of the city, and began to win the favor of the people of Israel. When the time was ripe, he set up his headquarters in Hebron and prepared to launch a coup.

When David got word of just how deep this conspiracy was, he decided to leave Jerusalem to spare it from the calamity of war. That is where we pick it up in chapter 15.

David was facing the greatest trouble of his life, but here is where we can learn great lessons for ourselves. We may find ourselves going through a time of great trouble, and it may even be the consequences of our own doing, but these are great lessons that we must all receive for ourselves.
