Guiding Questions: II Samuel 14

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. To what extent is the parable that the woman of Tekoa told David parallel to the incident involving Absalom?
  2. For what reasons did David suspect that Yoav “instigated” the woman and her words?
  3. Why do you think Yoav used the strategy of a parable with this woman rather than approaching King David himself?
  4. After reading the next chapter suggest the possible foreshadowing of II Samuel 14:26.
