Hi, I'm Dr. Tony Evans, and I'm excited for you to join me on Heroes in the Bible.

Please be sure to follow the podcast on Apple or Spotify so you get the newest episodes right as they come out.

Welcome to the Epic Adventure of David, a story of honor, battle, jealousy, darkness, friendship, love, scandal, and murder. While most people know

of David the myth, few know about David the man. In this episode, Father and Son are pitted

against each other. Absalom's hostile takeover of Israel cannot be complete until David is dead.

Absalom has more resources than mercenaries at his disposal, but David has

his mighty men. This episode is about many things, but more than anything, it is a tribute to the

warriors who have stuck by his side for so long. The Bible has given us many insight into these warriors,

and we have done our best to give them

the honor they deserve.

This episode focuses on them, especially since David is unable to go into battle himself.

David has many allies on his side, and that is ultimately what will turn the tide of

the battle.

Absalom, as intelligent as he is, will find himself sorely lacking in

wisdom. Before the story continues, we will listen to a prelude. We are once again brought into a moment

during Jesus' life. Judas, one of Christ's closest friends, gives him up for 30 pieces of silver,

a cheap price for the God of all creation. The guilt from his act drives Judas mad, and he meets an undignified demise.

His death is a foreshadowing of another death in this episode. Who it is, you might have already

guessed, but David may have other plans.

Join us for episode 27, hanging on a tree. This is an I-Heart podcast.
