Bible Question (short): Sam 2 Ch 15 v. 16 David n his concubines |
Question (full): I don't think David a good husband (probably bad and irresponsible). It is because I see no reason for David to leave his cocumbines behind in the palace when he fled from Absalom. How could the women take care of the palace when Absalom was going to take over the place? He (David) was risking his cocubines to the hands Absalom and putting the women in such an insulting situation. Evenmore, he (David) finally abandoned the women till they died (II Samuel 20:3). He had no excuse from this evil (Sorry that I have to say this). I really do not know what is God telling us about David in this case? Could it be David's selfishness or David's following the commandment of no adultery (since those women had slept with Absalom so David could not take them back again)? Were the women innocent? |
