2Sa 13:28-29 | MHM | STEP | v. 28-29 : At the feast, Absalom gave orders to his servants to kill Amnon when he was drunk and not expecting danger (2 Samuel 13:28-29 ). This was very cruel. Absalom did not fight Amnon himself but had others do it for him. He broke God’s command, You shall not kill , and told his servants to obey him instead of God. The Bible says, We ought to obey God rather than men (Acts 5:29 ). All the king’s sons saw this murder and ran away in fear, not knowing if Absalom would hurt them, too. Now, the trouble that Nathan warned David about began to happen in David’s own family. Sin brought pain and fear into David’s house.
