TSK · 2 Samuel 18:5

If a person has a stubborn, rebellious son who pays no attention to his father or mother, and they discipline him to no avail,

The Death of Ahithophel Ahithophel said to Absalom,“Let me pick out twelve thousand men. Then I will go and pursue David this very night.

The man replied to Joab,“Even if I were receiving a thousand pieces of silver, I would not strike the king’s son! In our very presence the king gave this order to you and Abishai and Ittai,‘Protect the young man Absalom for my sake.’

As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on his faithful followers.
