Purpose:

The purpose of this Blog is to expand and extend the discussion of a Sunday school class, Adult II, beyond the classroom. Each week, we will sequentially read a chapter of a book in the Bible followed by an open sharing of insights and perspectives on the Word. It is our prayer that the exchange that takes place will always be directed by the Holy Spirit, who is the mind of God, and it is done in LOVE so that all who participate may be edified.

2 Samuel 16 Ziba, Shimei, and Absalom

Key Events:

  1. Ziba brings supplies and food to David.  David awards Ziba all the property of his master, Mephibosheth. 
  2. Shimei (from the house of Saul) follows David, casting stones and cursing him.  David ignores him and spares his life.
  3. Absalom questions loyalty of Hushai.
  4. Ahithophel gives Absalom counsel to sleep with the concubines of David in public.
Discussion:
  1. Who is Mephibosheth and why would David give his servant his property?
  2. Explain the audacity of Shimei towards David.
  3. How does David again demonstrate he is "a man after God's own heart"?
  4. What is the significance of Ahithophel's advice to Absalom?
