1 | Did King David know about Absalom? | 2 Sam 18:14 | Michael Draves | 157746 | ||
Killing Absalom isn't spelled out in the offenses David lists to Solomon for wanting Joab dealt with. 1 Kin 2:5 "Now you also know what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, what he did to the two commanders of the armies of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner, and to Amasa the son of Jether, whom he killed; he also shed the blood of war in peace. And he put the blood of war on his belt about his waist, and on his sandals on his feet. 1 Kin 2:6 "So act according to your wisdom, and do not let his gray hair go down to Sheol in peace. |

2 | Did King David know about Absalom? | 2 Sam 18:14 | Makarios | 157748 | ||
Greetings Michael Draves! Yes, I checked in 1 Kings 2:5-6 and could not find Absalom listed among those whom David lists for wanting Joab dealt with. So, would I be correct in assuming that David never knew that Joab killed Absalom? |

3 | Did King David know about Absalom? | 2 Sam 18:14 | Michael Draves | 157749 | ||
I was going to make that assumption until I remembered how unfriendly Solomon was to his brothers as rivals to the throne. | ||||||
4 | Did King David know about Absalom? | 2 Sam 18:14 | Makarios | 157803 | ||
Greetings Michael, I'm not sure that the attitude of Solomon towards his brothers has anything at all to do with whether or not David knew that Joab slew Absalom. Blessings to you, Makarios |

5 | Did King David know about Absalom? | 2 Sam 18:14 | Michael Draves | 157897 | ||
Hi Makarios If David knew about Absalom being killed by Joab I would have expected David to mention it as a reason for Solomon to deal with Joab unless David knew Solomon would have wanted Absalom as a rival to die anyway so mentioning it might not help David motivate Solomon to do what he wanted. Have you come up with a better reason than an argument from silence? Michael |

6 | Did King David know about Absalom? | 2 Sam 18:14 | Makarios | 157904 | ||
Greetings my friend, Actually no, I haven't found a better reason. :-) In fact, I am beginning to believe that King David went to his grave without knowing that Joab killed Absalom, unless someone can come up with a better idea. I appreciate your thoughts and time spent! Makarios |
