Episode Notes:

Today, we step into one of the most emotionally charged chapters in the entire story of David — a chapter where the king is down, the kingdom is shaking, and yet God is quietly, faithfully at work behind the scenes.

Chapter 15 showed us David fleeing Jerusalem with a broken heart; Chapter 16 shows us what happens on the road — a road of humiliation, a road of loss, a road where everything familiar has been stripped away. And it’s on that very road that God begins to reveal something really quite profound:

This chapter will be unpacked through its three dramatic scenes, each one showing us a different angle of what it means to trust God when life is falling apart.

1. Verses 1–4 — We meet Ziba

1. Verses 5–13 — We then meet Shimei.

2. Verses 14–23 — We see Absalom’s Arrival in Jerusalem.

This is a chapter about humiliation and betrayal, but also about faith, restraint, and the quiet, steady work of God in the background. It’s a chapter that speaks to anyone who has ever walked through a season where life felt unfair, where people misunderstood you, or where circumstances seemed stacked against you.

So, let’s walk with David through this difficult chapter of his life— because in his story, we can discover something true about our own.... No matter what, God is still working.
