  • A Fathers Broken Heart
    2Sam 12:15-24

    "People are generally good and only do bad things" is a lie; our hearts are black with sin. Our failure to follow God leads to our own personal failure

    Deuteronomy 17:16-17 Commands to kings.

  • Do not multiply horses

  •     {leads to a warlike kingdom};
  • Do not multiply wives (this was a practice of peace-making with neighboring kingdoms)

  •     {leads to not trusting in God for peace};

    There are 3 OT words for "fool" one of them is "intentionally ignorant"

    David heart is not broken neither because of this baby nor Amnon
    2Sam 12.23 "I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me." David believed and teaches life after death and resurrection.

    2Sam 13 (Absalom Tamar brother and sister) half siblings to  (Amnon)

    2Sam 13:38-39 David longs for Absalom and David was comforted that he would not be separated from Amnon

    David heart is broken because of Absalom
    2Sam 15 Absalom has gained enough following to wrestle the throne from David

    2Sam 17 David leaves Jerusalem and wrote Psalms 62 & 63
