Return, Rivalry, and Restlessness: A Kingdom Reunited—or Divided?
After Absalom’s death, David seeks to return to Jerusalem and restore unity to a fractured nation. Old tensions resurface as Joab fights to maintain military control, Sheba sparks a brief but dangerous rebellion, and scattered loyalties threaten the fragile peace. Amid the political maneuvering and emotional aftermath, a deeper question lingers: where is God’s voice in all of this—and is David truly returning to the Lord?
