An indepth outline of introductory notes on the Book of Genesis.
There are several practical lessons here including doing good to those who have done good to you, avoiding shaming people publicly, and fighting the battle of this life with courage and complete trust in the work that the Lord will do for us.
Abner had killed Joab’s brother, Asahel, in battle. Joab cannot wait for the Lord but must exact his own vengeance.
David continues to be protected by the Lord. In some cases (as in the sparing of Saul), he acts in a most honorable way.
This lesson greatly illustrates a choice made by each person. Will they live their life by conviction or by convenience?
