SOWING AND REAPING?
(2 Samuel 18:5-9, 15, 31-33)
Twenty thousand dead,
the insurrection routed –
and Absalom dead.
The king’s dilemma:
grief for a rebellious son,
good faith with his troops.
David’s story shows
what goes around, comes around
with tragic outcomes.
Deceit and abuse
cast a wide net and damage
in unforeseen ways.
