A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 38 is found in chapter 13 of 2 Samuel. Absalom flees to Geshur and remains there for three years while David mourns the situation involving his son. Their relationship remains suspended without genuine reconciliation. The king desires to see Absalom but does not fully resolve the moral and family problem between them. The physical distance reflects an internal rupture that will prepare Absalom’s later return and ultimately his rebellion against David.
