2 Samuel 14, 15
Inspired thots
Joab knew David missed his son Absalom who killed another son Amnon; hence, Joab devised a plan to have David allow Absalom come back but being righteous, David did not want to see Absalom's face until 2 years have passed. He was still mourning for Amnon.
But Absalom's treachery is soon to be revealed. He set Joab's field on fire to have his way; hence, it was to Joab's detriment to have brought Absalom back. Absalom became arrogant and devised to be king by first stealing the people's heart (15:6)
When they took matters into their own hands, they will only experience self destruction and trouble.
Such a difference compared to David who sought the Lord and put Him first in his life. Hence, the Lord was pleased with David.
