”Meanwhile one of Joab’s men stood near Amasa, and said, “Whoever favors Joab and whoever is for David—follow Joab!” But Amasa wallowed in his blood in the middle of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he moved Amasa from the highway to the field and threw a garment over him, when he saw that everyone who came upon him halted. When he was removed from the highway, all the people went on after Joab to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri. And he went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel and Beth Maachah and all the Berites. So they were gathered together and also went after Sheba.“
II Samuel 20:11-14 NKJV
a. All the people went on after Joab: For all his ruthless devotion to David, Joab was a true leader. The soldiers naturally followed the commander who had successfully led them many times before.
b. He went through all the tribes of Israel: Joab was able to find men loyal to David in all the tribes of Israel. Though Sheba was able to assemble an army against David, there were still many people loyal to David. (Guzik)
Loyal to the King!
The Bible gives us the history of mankind with all our faults for a reason, it lays bare the sins of mankind to show us the way to Gods plan of salvation through His son Jesus.
”For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.“
John 3:16 NKJV
What does the Bible say about Jesus’s return? ”And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.“
Revelation 19:16 NKJV
I am loyal to the KING OF KINGS, are you?
Blessings
