“David walked up the road to the Mount of Olives, weeping as he went. His head was covered and his feet were bare as a sign of mourning. And the people who were with him covered their heads and wept as they climbed the hill.”
What a terribly sad scene this was. David, the king of Israel, fleeing the city before his own son, Absalom!
No doubt David’s heart was burdened all the more as he recalled the judgment of God prophesied against him by Nathan the prophet, “Your own household will rebel against you.”
