Context Summary

2 Samuel 13:28-39 - Absalom Flees While David Mourns
For two years Absalom nursed his anger. Time did not alter his resolve, though it lulled to sleep any suspicion that might have been excited if he had taken immediate steps to get Amnon into his power. Then came the festival of a sheep-shearing, the enticement of Amnon from the shelter of the palace and his murder, the rumor that reached David, and the flight of the murderer to his mother's father, Talmai, the king of Geshur. Of course, if David had insisted upon his surrender, Absalom would have had to be handed over for punishment; but again, the memory of his own sin withheld David's hand. Had he not treacherously plotted Uriah's death! How could he punish the avenger of a sister's wrong! His own sin had come home to roost.
The punishment of sin is much more swift and certain than many seem to suppose, not only in the next life, but also in this. We need not climb the throne to exercise vengeance. That is God's part, and it is carried out by the inevitable working of law. What a man sows, he is invariably called to reap. [source]
