David Returns to Jerusalem

⁹ Throughout the tribes of Israel, all the people were arguing among themselves, saying, “The king delivered us from the hand of our enemies; he is the one who rescued us from the hand of the Philistines. But now he has fled the country to escape from Absalom; ¹⁰ and Absalom, whom we anointed to rule over us, has died in battle. So why do you say nothing about bringing the king back?”
¹¹ King David sent this message to Zadok and Abiathar, the priests: “Ask the elders of Judah, ‘Why should you be the last to bring the king back to his palace, since what is being said throughout Israel has reached the king at his quarters? ¹² You are my relatives, my own flesh and blood. So why should you be the last to bring back the king?’ ¹³ And say to Amasa, ‘Are you not my own flesh and blood? May God deal with me, be it ever so severely, if you are not the commander of my army for life in place of Joab.’”
¹⁴ He won over the hearts of the men of Judah so that they were all of one mind. They sent word to the king, “Return, you and all your men.” ¹⁵ Then the king returned and went as far as the Jordan.

Everyone in the country treats David like a second rate king. When Absolam was alive, they forgot David and just prefers Absolom. And now when Absolom was killed in battle, killed by David's troops, they are left with no choice but to invite David back. It must be so sad for David to be treated as a second rate king. God will never treat us this way. God will never treat us as second rate! God will always treat us as first class citizens. We are all God's children. No one is higher than the other in the eyes of God. Everyone is equal. God loves everyone equally. He does not love someone more than you, but everyone is loved. People can fail us but God doesn't. David when faced with this problem, he doesn't go like, curse God. He just pressed on for He knows who is God and people do not choose their king, But God chooses their king. God has the final say. People make plan, but God has the final say eh! :D
