Jeremy McCandless | Creating Podcasts and Bible Study Resources | Today, we step into one of the most heartbreaking chapters in the entire life story of David. 

If the last few episodes have shown us the slow build‑up of tension — the rebellion forming, the consequences unfolding, the escape narrowing — chapter 18 brings us to the moment where everything converges. This is the chapter where the battle finally breaks out. This is where Absalom’s fate is sealed, and its the chapter where David’s heart is broken.

 1. The Battle Begins.  

2. Absalom’s Fate' 

3. David’s Grief.
