2 Sam 13-18 - What?

The readings - days 98 and 99 - 2 Samuel 13-18

It's funny how Biblical history so resembles the rest of history - moments (all too infrequent, unfortunately) of incredible brilliance, examples of humanity at its best and brightest, followed almost immediately by harsh reminders that a lot of people, a lot of the time, suck.

It had to happen, but it's still sad to see it - the rise and reign of David at the heights of reverence and upstandingness have now fallen flat on their faces in the wake and midst of his almost impressively dysfunctional family.
