This chapter is a living illustration of James 1:14-15. Amnon is tempted with his own lust. He falls into sin and it leads to his death. This lesson is a warning to us all.
In this chapter, one of the great men of God in the Bible falls deeply into sin. How could David do such a thing?
This lesson greatly illustrates a choice made by each person. Will they live their life by conviction or by convenience?
What a difference we see between Saul and David. One impressed men by his exterior appearance; the other impressed God by the condition of his heart.
In this chapter, Saul illustrates the sin of willful rebellion and God’s reaction to this sin. Saul’s rebellion leads to God’s rejection of him as king of Israel.
