2 Samuel 13–15

Common Theme
Sin begets suffering, and unchecked injustice in families and leadership leads to division and rebellion. The consequences of David’s past sins now play out tragically in the lives of his children and his kingdom.

Questions to Ask
– What role does passivity or inaction play in the unraveling of relationships and leadership in this passage?
– How do we respond when justice is delayed or denied—both as individuals and communities?

God Shot
God does not overlook sin, even among His anointed. Though He allows consequences to unfold, His sovereign hand still holds the kingdom’s future—working through the pain, rebellion, and brokenness to accomplish His purposes.
