Then thine handmaid said, The word of my lord the king shall now be comfortable: for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and bad: therefore the LORD thy God will be with thee.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 17 is found in chapter 14 of 2 Samuel. The woman of Tekoa applies her parable directly to David and questions why the king keeps his son in exile. David realizes that Joab is behind the strategy and finally authorizes Absalom’s return. The reconciliation, however, remains incomplete: Absalom returns to Jerusalem but for a time cannot appear before his father. The narrative distinguishes political restoration from personal restoration.
