David might aave attempted to defend Jerusalem against Absalom, but was unprepared, aud unsucc sbful resistance would have meant the sacking of the city and th. horrors that luvariably accompany sack. KoUc throughout the account that David was thoughtful for others. No part of the history throws more light on his real character than does this story of his flight, and at no time was his heart more kingly and his spirit more admirable than in this time of hi? rxtreroltjr. Note Ml his thought for J rusalem (IS 14; (2 his genTous treatment ol Ittai. captain of a detachment of his famous foreign bodyguard (If l-22i; the sending back of the ark I I.V. 23, 26) ; ron'rasting David's reasonable view of the situation with the superstition! Ideas of former generations; (41 th king's tnatment of Shimel (16:9-13; 1916-231 Though David was now an elderly man. and had of late retired I more and more from active public life J his old energy and diplomatic skill re- - turned to him at this time. He hlmselt planned evry detail of the campaign. (Ch IS: 1-23 Before the decisive battle was fought Absalom nigned thre months at Jerusalem David had fortified himself at Mahanaim. acrovs the Jordan from Jerusalem. During this time both were making preparations for the Ftruggle. but the delay strengthened David far more than It did Absalom. The account of the battle Is clear While Ihe army of the nsurp-r was probably the larger, if lacked discipline. With David were the famous genera's Josh. Ablshal and Ittai. with the no ls famous "Old Guard" of K4J mluhty men. (Vs 21-27 One thing is very clearIt was the loving father and not the outrage, j king that was supremein David ns he sst bv the gate that day breathlessly waiting for news of the battle "If hebe lone there Is tidings:" If he w. re fleeing there would be othf is with him.
