2 Samuel 18:1-18 (ESV)
Absalom Killed
18 Then David mustered the men who were with him and set over them commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds. 2 And David sent out the army, one third under the command of Joab, one third under the command of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, and one third under the command of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said to the men, “I myself will also go out with you.” 3 But the men said, “You shall not go out. For if we flee, they will not care about us. If half of us die, they will not care about us. But you are worth ten thousand of us. Therefore it is better that you send us help from the city.” 4 The king said to them, “Whatever seems best to you I will do.” So the king stood at the side of the gate, while all the army marched out by hundreds and by thousands. 5 And the king ordered Joab and Abishai and Ittai, “Deal gently for my sake with the young man Absalom.” And all the people heard when the king gave orders to all the commanders about Absalom.
6 So the army went out into the field against Israel, and the battle was fought in the forest of Ephraim. 7 And the men of Israel were defeated there by the servants of David, and the loss there was great on that day, twenty thousand men. 8 The battle spread over the face of all the country, and the forest devoured more people that day than the sword.
9 And Absalom happened to meet the servants of David. Absalom was riding on his mule, and the mule went under the thick branches of a great oak,[a] and his head caught fast in the oak, and he was suspended between heaven and earth, while the mule that was under him went on. 10 And a certain man saw it and told Joab, “Behold, I saw Absalom hanging in an oak.” 11 Joab said to the man who told him, “What, you saw him! Why then did you not strike him there to the ground? I would have been glad to give you ten pieces of silver and a belt.” 12 But the man said to Joab, “Even if I felt in my hand the weight of a thousand pieces of silver, I would not reach out my hand against the king's son, for in our hearing the king commanded you and Abishai and Ittai, ‘For my sake protect the young man Absalom.’ 13 On the other hand, if I had dealt treacherously against his life[b] (and there is nothing hidden from the king), then you yourself would have stood aloof.” 14 Joab said, “I will not waste time like this with you.” And he took three javelins in his hand and thrust them into the heart of Absalom while he was still alive in the oak. 15 And ten young men, Joab's armor-bearers, surrounded Absalom and struck him and killed him.
16 Then Joab blew the trumpet, and the troops came back from pursuing Israel, for Joab restrained them. 17 And they took Absalom and threw him into a great pit in the forest and raised over him a very great heap of stones. And all Israel fled every one to his own home. 18 Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and set up for himself the pillar that is in the King's Valley, for he said, “I have no son to keep my name in remembrance.” He called the pillar after his own name, and it is called Absalom's monument[c] to this day.

Thank you Maranatha family, Yeshua is continuing to work miracles, my dad went down for surgery and our Father restored me to help. I am the one who testified last week. But God, I have been able to serve my family 😭😭😭 and let Jesus work through me! From suicidal to this, how great is our God. Please pray for my father for restoration. He spoke words that he is in the process of being saved before he went in. Jesus does not deceive and Jesus cannot be deceived he said. 😭 I neede this message, thank you! Yes I can make idols out of teachers, other believers. Thank you Pastor, thank you, sewing the seeds of love as we March for Christ. And I started evangelizing again! PRAISE YESHUA! ❤🕊🙏🙌 the Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Thank you family.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My health is also improving praise Jesus, thank you for praying 🙏🙌🕊😭😊
"You're more afraid of your iPhone than the Lord."
If that doesn't describe the world/culture we live in today, I don't know what does. 😭 “Don’t be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot touch your soul. Fear only God, who can destroy both soul and body in hell." -Matthew 10:28
Hallelujah 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 “this is the day , this is that the day that the Lord has made”! Amen 🙏🏻
Proverbs 16:18-19
“18 Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. 19 Better to be lowly in spirit along with the oppressed than to share plunder with the proud.”
Absolom=proud
Joab=proud
May God destroy our pride.
May we always keep our eyes on the Master, Jesus Christ!❤
Wow, so good. This message has blessed me greatly! I recently have been struggling with not falling into the temptation of following the world... to be in the world, but not of the world. I want to continue to walk in obedience to God and His Word. Jesus is so worth it! "Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ." -Galatians 1:10 NIV
Thank you Pastor Daniel! God bless you 💗
Once again thank you, Pastor Daniel and the Maranatha family. We are nearly coming to the end of the book of Samuel. I have learned so much. The Bible is such a joy. I can not remember when I first came across Maranatha, could have been during lockdown. Pastor Daniel mentioned that we do need to be careful with so much on the internet and he is right. Apart from some of you tubers who I enjoy watching. When it comes to the bible I tend to stick close to the word. So far what I can see is that Maranatha is very much built on God's almighty authority, may the church family never change and continue to grow.
I truly love this ministry! The teaching is something I can't get enough of. The Bible being taught without all the additives is food for the soul.
PS...We need to visit!
You are gorgeous too, but very humble. Pastor Daniel I'm a senior lady, and you can be my grandson. With respect I say this. Absalom pride made him ugly
🙏💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏
I think Pastor Batarseh mentioned this in a 1 Sam study, but I think an extensive Bible study series on biblical figures who were described as attractive would be fascinating. Especially studying the consequences and ways people used their looks to protect and/or advance God's kingdom.
Praise the lord.
Thank you so much 🙏God bless you this is gold..i was struggling to understand the lessons coming from 2Sam18.What draws my attention to repeat reading it was Ahimaaz how he outrun with news.But thanks be to God you have been the vessel to bring out the treasure
