A. David avenges the Gibeonites. 1. (1) A three-year famine prompts David to seek God. Now there was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year; and David inquired of the LORD. And the LORD answered, “It is because of Saul and his bloodthirsty house, because he killed the Gibeonites.”. a. 2 Samuel 21:1. Then there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David inquired of the LORD. And the LORD answered, It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he slew the Gibeonites. THE FAMINE. 2 Samuel 21:1-14. WE now enter on the concluding part of the reign of David. Some of the matters in which he was Verse 2 Samuel 12:23. I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me. — It is not clear whether David by this expressed his faith in the immortality of the soul; going to him may only mean, I also shall die, and be gathered to my fathers, as he is. But whether David expressed this or not, we know that the thing is true; and it is one of the Second Samuel is really a continuation of 1 Samuel (in the Hebrew Bible they are not divided and this is the first book of Kings) and it all centers on one man -- David.

And David sent to comfort him by the hand of his servants for his father. James 1:14-15 states, “Each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death.”. This is the exact progression of David’s fall into sin. 1. Enticed by his own lust--”He saw” (11:2). Nathan’s Parable and David’s Confession. 12 Then the Lord sent Nathan to David.

Observe the aggravations of Absalom's sin: he would have Ammon slain, when least fit to go out of the world. He engaged his servants in the guilt.
