When King David heard what had happened, he was very angry - 2 Samuel 13:21
David was often a brilliant leader on the battlefield but he defaulted on his leadership at home
His family became dysfunctional:
- Amnon raped his sister
- David did not repond
- Absalom, David's oldest son, killed Amnon and fled Jerusalem
- Amnon's murder and Absalom's absense broke David's heart
- David restored Absalom but later became embitteed against his father
- Absaloom led a rebellion against David
Don't default on your responsibility - as a father, you have the privilege of leading others toward godliness
Key Phrase: David was often a brilliant leader on the battlefield but he defaulted on his leadership at home
