2 Samuel, Chapter 14, Verse 14-15
14
We must indeed die; we are then
like water that is poured out on the ground and cannot be gathered up. Yet,
though God does not bring back to life, he does devise means so as not to banish anyone from him. 15 And
now, if I have presumed to speak to the king of this matter, it is because the
people have given me cause to fear.
And so your servant thought: ‘Let me speak to the king. Perhaps he will grant
the petition of his servant.
Here
David is in a quandary; his beloved son has murdered his brother and should be
punished. Yet…how can David save his living son and still be just. Joab brings in
a wise woman who points out God does not bring the dead to life but devises ways
of returning the banished.
