SHIELA Tsengwa's comment on 2021-12-15 19:30:23:

This chapter shows the fulfilment of the word of God that vengeance is His. David did not want His son to be killed but the wrath of God was on him as he rose against his father and disobeyed the Lord. it is also a lesson for us to take the word of God as it is, an never to choose fame and conspire against the anointed as God always fights their battles.

Asher Israel's comment on 2021-11-12 11:51:41:

2 Samuel 18:9 Proves what people would ignore an even hide in most cases, the children of Israel an the Royal House of Judah are indeed a Negro people today the same exact people to a T. So called Black woman are under the curses of Isaiah chapter 3 an this here is without a shadow of a doubt a large thick Afro. There's no way it's not. Only our hair is thick to this extent that when grew long enough it can very much get caught up in branches. Unbelievable. This is beautiful!

Yarie's comment on 2011-07-31 13:13:53:

The real reason for building a pillar himself was because of prideful arrogant wickedness. He was in love with his beauty and wanted to immortalize himself through history. Which lead to his indignant death.
