2nd Samuel // A Distracted King [2 Samuel 19] (Billy Hanna)

Billy Hanna dives into 2nd Samuel 19 this week, looking at David's response to the death of Absalom. Billy breaks our passage today into three pieces - the context of David's grief, the enormity of David's responsibility, and considers the failure of David's perspective. The key idea Billy wants to bring across from this passage is "a heart that looks only to its own interests, shows no regard for God's lasting glory". Billy looks at where today's message fits in the story throughout the books of Samuel before looking at the points outlined. He looks at why Saul, David, and Absalom were or were not fit to be kings, as is shown in this portion of the books. Billy looks at how Joabs response to Davids reaction shows this. But how can we apply this passage to ourselves? Billy looks at a couple of different points on what he learnt while studying this passage.
