2 Samuel 13-17  Approximately 22 minutes listening time

 

You can go to http://www.c2cministry.org/Bible for the links to each days Bible chapters and to order a Bible if you need one.  If you need a Bible please let us know so we can send you one FREE no strings attached we promise not to come banging on your door to beat you over the head with it.  You can reply to this email or go to our web site and request one. 

 

Ok here we go.  Amnon, David’s son, decided he was in love with his sister Tamar.  He pretended to be ill and had her come and make bread for him and he overpowered her and raped her and then he hated her.  This one incestuous act will cause trouble for not just the family but for the entire Israelite community.  You see sin grows and grows.  You may think what you are doing is a “little white lie” but it grows into a huge monster.  Let me give you a run down of what happened.  Amnon’s lust for his sister turned to rape and then the rape turned into shame and then Absalom, Amnon’s brother, kills him and then Absalom flees.  Now the place in which Absalom fled didn’t know of the murder and a woman that was sent by Joab was to pretend to be in mourning to inform the king.  Now the king sent Absalom away and Absalom began to lie to people and made up a conspiracy and had people that began to tell the lie that Absalom was the king of Hebron and this made David afraid that his very own son will try to kill him so he fled with all his people.  Then the priest got involved in the lies and then Absalom slept with David’s concubines in the sight of all Israel and it gets messier and messier and the sin grows more and more.  But we all know the price for sin.  We will continue this mess tomorrow.
