23 Two years later, when Absalom’s sheepshearers were at Baal Hazor near the border of Ephraim, he invited all the king’s sons to come there. 24 Absalom went to the king and said, “Your servant has had shearers come. Will the king and his attendants please join me?”
25 “No,
my son,” the king replied. “All of us should not go; we would only be a
burden to you.” Although Absalom urged him, he still refused to go but
gave him his blessing.
26 Then Absalom said, “If not, please let my brother Amnon come with us.”
The king asked him, “Why should he go with you?” 27 But Absalom urged him, so he sent with him Amnon and the rest of the king’s sons.
28 Absalom ordered his men, “Listen! When Amnon is in high
spirits from drinking wine and I say to you, ‘Strike Amnon down,’ then
kill him. Don’t be afraid. Haven’t I given you this order? Be strong and
brave.” 29 So Absalom’s men did to Amnon what Absalom had ordered. Then all the king’s sons got up, mounted their mules and fled.
A sin leads to another sin. How good can it be? To lead your brother to sin after you sinned. This is something that we must not be, a position that we must not have. I call it daisy chain sinning. Even if your starting action was not sin, it still cause people to sin, so it is still sinning. so, becareful of our actions, because it may cause your brother or sister to fall into sin, so it is bad. We are meant to bring people closer to Christ, to further away from Christ. How good is the glory of Christ. I am very careful of my actions nowadays, because if my actions are not sin, but if it causes my bro/sis to sin, it is sin. We all need to be very careful. Here we see that Amnon committed a sin and he caused his brother Absalom to sin against him.
