hang out with us. We'd love to see you there. Chad, we are in 2nd Samuel, chapter 20. We ended

with David coming back to Jerusalem and people are excited, but Israel is kind of split now because two tribes have sort of claimed

David as more theirs than other tribes or at least that's the perception and David's got a coup on his hands for the second time

in a very short amount of time where a man has said you know what fine you guys can have David we don't need we don't need that everyone go to

their tents just leave this guy yes David can't catch a break I mean no sooner

does the coup of Absalom get taken care of before this worthless

guy, as he's called here, the son of Balliol by the name of Sheva, the son of Bickory

Benjaminite, decides that he's going to try.

Absalom didn't do so well, so Sheva, he thinks that he's going to be able to take care of this.

So we have a one more division.
