You Guys Can't Have David. We Don't Need That.

David can't catch a break. No sooner does the coup of Absalom get taken care of before this worthless guy as he's called here, the son of Baeliel by the name of Sheva,. The son of Bickory of Benjamin, I decided that he's going to try. So we have a one more division. And as we'll see, things don't go so well for him. Things don't go too well also for David's replacement of Joab that we have met before, a guy named Amasa. This chapter is like the last punctuation, the last exclamation point rather to Joab's rise in power.
