2 Samuel 3 – Absalom Spirit – Background
1 Now there was a long war between the house of Saul and the house of David. But David grew stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul grew weaker and weaker.
2 Sons were born to David in Hebron: His firstborn was Amnon by Ahinoam the Jezreelitess; his second, Chileab, by Abigail the widow of Nabal; the third, Absalom the son of Maacah, the daughter of Talmai, king of Geshur.

1 Samuel 11 (8 Chapters later) David fully King 
1 It happened in the spring of the year, at the time when kings go out to battle, that David sent Joab and his servants with him, and they destroyed the people of Ammon and besieged Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem.
2 It happened one evening that David arose from his bed and walked on the roof of the king’s house… 
Bathsheba / murder of Uriah / Psalm 51

2 Samuel 12 – David’s punishment
10 Now therefore, the sword shall never depart from your house, because you have despised Me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.’ 
11-12 Thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, I will raise up adversity against you from your own house; and I will take your wives before your eyes and give them to your neighbor, and he shall lie with your wives in the sight of this sun. For you did it secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel, before the sun.

2 Samuel 13 – Amnon’s scheme to rape his sister
1-2 After this Absalom the son of David had a lovely sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her. Amnon was so distressed over his sister Tamar that he became sick; for she was a virgin. And it was improper for Amnon to do anything to her.
19-20 Then Tamar put ashes on her head, tore her robe of many colors that was on her, and laid her hand on her head and went away crying bitterly. Absalom, her brother, said to her, “Has Amnon your brother been with you? But now hold your peace, my sister. He is your brother; do not take this thing to heart.” Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom’s house.

2 Samuel 13 – Absalom’s Bitter Root Judgment
21-23 But when King David heard of all these things, he was very angry. And Absalom spoke to his brother Amnon neither good nor bad. For Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar. And it came to pass, after two full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baal Hazor, so Absalom invited all the king’s sons.

2 Samuel 13 – Absalom’s plot to murder Amnon
28 Absalom commanded his servants, saying, “Watch now, when Amnon’s heart is merry with wine, and when I say to you, ‘Strike Amnon!’ then kill him. Do not be afraid. Have I not commanded you? 
Be courageous and valiant.” 
29 So the servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king’s sons arose, and each one got on his mule and fled.
30 And it came to pass, while they were on the way, that news came to David, saying, “Absalom has killed all the king’s sons, and not one of them is left!” 
31 So the king arose and tore his garments and lay on the ground, and all his servants stood by with their clothes torn.
32 Then Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David’s brother, answered and said, “Let not my lord suppose they have killed all the king’s sons, for only Amnon is dead. For by the command of Absalom this has been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar. 
33 Now therefore, let not my lord the king take the thing to his heart, to think that all the king’s sons are dead. For only Amnon is dead.”

2 Samuel 14 – The Wise Woman of Tekoa
13-14 So the woman said: “Why then have you schemed such a thing against the people of God? 
For the king speaks this thing as one who is guilty, in that the king does not bring his banished one home again. For we will all surely die… We become like water spilled on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again. Yet God does not take away a life; but He devises means, so that His banished ones are not expelled from Him.

2 Samuel 14 – Absalom’s Judgment Against David
25 From the sole of his foot to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.
27 To Absalom were born three sons, and one daughter whose name was Tamar. 
She was a woman of beautiful appearance.
28 And Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem but did not see the king’s face.
30 Absalom said, “See, Joab’s field is near mine, and he has barley there; go and set it on fire.”
