2Sa 15:30 | MHM | STEP | v. 30 : David left Jerusalem, climbing the Mount of Olives in deep sorrow . He walked barefoot, with his head covered, weeping as he went. David was grieving for his son’s betrayal and for God’s displeasure because of his own sin. The pain was much worse than when Saul chased him, because now his own conscience hurt him (Psalm 51:3 ). All of David’s followers also wept as they walked with him. They shared in his grief and showed their support. The Bible teaches us to weep with those who weep (Romans 12:15 ). When leaders or people we love are sad because of sin or trouble, we should feel their pain and stand with them.

v. 30: David left Jerusalem, climbing the Mount of Olives in deep sorrow . He walked barefoot, with his head covered, weeping as he went. David was grieving for his son’s betrayal and for God’s displeasure because of his own sin. The pain was much worse than when Saul chased him, because now his own conscience hurt him (Psalm 51:3 ^a).

All of David’s followers also wept as they walked with him. They shared in his grief and showed their support. The Bible teaches us to weep with those who weep (Romans 12:15 ^b). When leaders or people we love are sad because of sin or trouble, we should feel their pain and stand with them.
