2Sa 19:11-12 | MHM | STEP | v. 11-12 : David noticed that his own tribe, Judah, was not as eager as the others to bring him back, even though he had always cared for them (2 Samuel 19:11-12 ). He sent the priests Zadok and Abiathar to speak to the elders of Judah and encourage them to invite him home. David reminded them that they were his family—his “bone and flesh”—and promised not to be harsh with them. Sometimes, people need encouragement to do the right thing, especially if they feel guilty or afraid.
