1 Kings 2 – Getting theirs

In the movies, we want the villains to “get what they deserve.” Whether it is a freak accident or by their own undoing, we hope that justice will be served. In 1 Kings 2, there is a reckoning for the evil that had been done during David’s reign. While some of the accounts are gruesome, others show considerable patience and mercy given what happened several chapters earlier. But we must remember that the Lord is our avenger; He is the one who rights the wrongs.
