About this listen
With good intentions David’s commanding general, Joab, engineers Absalom’s return from exile to an uneasy peace between father and son. All the while, Absalom chafes under David’s refusal to reinstate him as his eldest surviving son and heir to the throne, and as time passes, Absalom gains support, raises an army, and marches against his father. If David stays in Jerusalem and defends the city, he knows he will ultimately face his own son in battle, and when he does, David will kill him. So David abdicates the throne, leaving Jerusalem without a shot being fired. Not satisfied with David’s abdication, Absalom pursues David, leading to open warfare and the death of Absalom at Joab’s hands. When David returns to Jerusalem and the throne, he is never the same. In the end, David never recovers from his grief over Absalom’s betrayal and death.
