Contemplation (verse 1)
It is obvious that what was happening was not natural: the people were changing in an amazing way. They were first with David, then followed Absalom, then returned to David… and now they were leaving him to follow Sheba. Most probably, the great majority of them, did not know the reason of following or leaving somebody … There must be a hidden hand behind those incidents; namely the “divine will,” for the sake of chastising David.
+ Fr Tadros Malaty

Personal Reflection: Why do you think David suffered so many attacks during his lifetime… from within his own family and nation? What about me… what are the consequences of my mistakes?

Bible Knowledge Question: How did Sheba die?

Prayer: Lord, please help me to recognise the consequences of my sin… please show me my sins and help me to repent from them.
