Guiding Questions: II Samuel 18

Exploring Judaism

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

Why did the soldiers insist that David stay behind?
What type of “aid” did they believe David could afford them (II Samuel 18:3)?
What is meant by the idea that the “forest devoured more of the people than the sword”? (II Samuel 18:8)
Why did Yoav decide to ignore David’s instructions and kill Absalom?
Why did Yoav not want Ahimaatz to bring the news to David?
