Absalom revolts against David

Absalom killed Aamon for what he did to Tamar (Absalom's sister) then Absalom was banished. Joab then conspired a way to get Absalom not banished which was a big mistake. Because after he was back he started turning the people against his father the king. Once Absalom had raised enough men he made his move David fled at once only leaving behind 10 women to keep the castle clean. Then once David and his men had found a safe place they waited and then there was a battle David ordered for Absalom to be kept alive but Joab still killed him and David mourned on the way back to Jerusalem Judah and Israel argued about who was more faithful. When a trouble maker came only Judah stayed with David and Israel revolted yet again. But The men of Judah took care of that quickly.

The lesson for today is that God will always help you even in dire times.
