Day 94: BETRAYAL, Consequences, and Exile in 2 Samuel 13-15 | Bible In A Year (CSB)

For Day 94 of our "Bible in a Year" playlist, we delve into 2 Samuel 13-15. Sin’s ripple effects unfold as Amnon’s assault on Tamar sparks Absalom’s vengeance, fracturing David’s family. Absalom’s rebellion forces David into exile, revealing the deep cost of unaddressed sin and God’s unfolding justice.

Questions:
1. Amnon’s sin and David’s inaction in chapter 13 set a tragic chain in motion—how does this story challenge us to reflect on the theological weight of sin’s communal impact and the call to steward authority with righteousness?

2. Absalom’s murder of Amnon in chapter 13 and rebellion in chapter 15 mirror David’s earlier failures—how might this repetition deepen our understanding of sin’s generational consequences and God’s patience in working through flawed human agents?

3. David’s flight from Jerusalem in chapter 15 echoes his days as a fugitive—how does this humbling reversal invite us to consider the theological interplay between divine discipline and the promise of restoration in God’s covenant plan?
