  1. David, Ziba, Mephibosheth.<\/em> This is the second act in the relationship that began 7 chapters ago (chapter 9), but it\u2019s not the last. Stay with us until chapter 19, to hear Mephibosheth\u2019s version of events.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. A pox on your house<\/em>. The curse that Shimei son of Gera hurls at David regarding the blood guilt of the house of Saul, states that he is about to pay for his misdeeds: \u201c\u201cGet out, get out, you criminal, you villain! The LORD is paying you back for all your crimes against the family of Saul, whose throne you seized. The LORD is handing over the throne to your son Absalom; you are in trouble because you are a criminal!\u201d (verses 7-8).<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Crime and punishment<\/em>. Ahithophel\u2019s counsel, and its fulfillment on the roof, of all places, fulfills the punishment that Nathan prophesied to David for his sin with Bathsheba (whom David had seen bathing – on the roof): \u201cThus said the LORD: \u2018I will make a calamity rise against you from within your own house; I will take your wives and give them to another man before your very eyes and he shall sleep with your wives under this very sun. You acted in secret, but I will make this happen in the sight of all Israel and in broad daylight\u2019\u201d (12:11-12).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","image":{"ID":86314,"id":86314,"title":"Points to
