Day 135: 2 Samuel 13-15

Welcome to Day 135 of our journey through Scripture. Today, we step into some of the most intense and emotional chapters in the life of King David as we read 2 Samuel 13 through 15. These passages pull back the curtain on the brokenness within David’s own family—stories of betrayal, injustice, revenge, and heartbreaking consequences that ripple through generations. We’ll witness the devastating events surrounding Tamar, the deep anger of Absalom, and the unraveling of trust inside the royal household. As tensions rise, we begin to see how personal sin and unresolved conflict can fracture even the strongest of families—and how leadership is tested in the midst of crisis. But even in the chaos, there are powerful lessons about justice, mercy, accountability, and the long shadows our choices can cast. So take a deep breath, quiet your heart, and let’s lean in together as we read 2 Samuel chapters 13 through 15.
