2 Samuel 18 - Absalom Dies

David's son Absalom is dead. He would still be alive if he had not tried to destroy his father. He would still live if it were not for his own greed for power. But, he and his army pursues David's servants, in order to do away with his father. Absalom fails. He hangs in a tree and is struck through by Joab's armor bearers and dies.

Rebellion and wars for personal gain never gets a person anywhere. It may seem so for awhile. But, in the end, those who seek their own glory will fail. They will fall.
