2 Samuel 19:41-43 – A growing rift

Relationships don’t usually crumble at the drop of a hat and hatred takes some time to brew. Here is another page in an ongoing saga that will lead to the creation of two separate nations between Israel and Judah. The issue this time: who gets to bring the king back to Jerusalem, Israel or Judah? The nation is tearing itself apart from the rebellion and this ‘discussion’ is not helping at all. Times of pressure often reveal unresolved issues that we may have. As God’s people, we must work hard at loving one another or factions will form and they will create divisions among us.
