2 Samuel 15

2 Samuel 15

Clarke - “Absalom appeared to be the real and undisputed heir to the throne; David could not, in the course of nature, live very long; and most people are more disposed to hail the beams of the rising, than exult in those of the setting, sun.” Don Anderson - This is the way a lot of people get elected to office these days. They have no qualifications other than the fact that they are good at hand shaking and back slapping. And we just love it. We fall for it every time. This is probably how the antichrist will gain his power. He’ll be the greatest little back slapper that the world has ever seen. Rich Cathers - Lesson - Watch out for Absalom. He’s the one who criticizes the boss. He’s the one pushing his own agenda. He’s the flatterer. He’s wrong.
