Bible Question:
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? |
Bible Answer: I was going to make that assumption until I remembered how unfriendly Solomon was to his brothers as rivals to the throne. |
