This is what happens when you let your kids run wild: they rebel.
This chapter tells about the early success of Absalom's rebellion. Rather than stand up to his murderous, rebellious child, David ran. He also made plans to take his throne back. He had been at his best when running from a king, after all.
With all of David's faults, it's puzzling that God called David "a man after my own heart". I suppose we all should take comfort in that, but I would be interested in your thoughts on why God said that about David (1 Sa 13:14).
