A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 30 is found in chapter 14 of 2 Samuel. After two years of living in Jerusalem without seeing the king, Absalom forces a reconciliation with Joab and is finally received by David. The meeting ends with Absalom bowing before his father, and David kisses him. Yet the account does not present a deep confession or genuine resolution of the earlier crimes. The public reconciliation prepares an apparently restored relationship that will soon become a political threat.
