Introduction
This story illustrates for us the meeknees in the heart of David.
Although he was a mightly man and an accomplished king, he showed meekness toward Absalom.
One definition for meekness is "to be easily imposed upon".
We may not like this, but at time it is the mature response and correct thing to do.
I.
The Crisis
David was the authority in the land, but as is always the case Satan is challenging authority
God was allowing this as a part of David's punishment for his sin.
But, God still highly regards authority
A crisis can happen in our lives at any moment.
When it does we must remember:
A. Absalom challenged David (vs 1-12)
Absalom tried to put himself in a position that was not his to take
He was cunning about his motives (vv.
2-4)
He is drawing the people to himself (v. 5)
B. David was faced with a dilemma
II.
The Conflict
A. David was on the run
B. Absalom was on the throne
III.
The Conclusion
A. Absalom is in the grave
B. David is on the throne
