2 Samuel 18-20

It took me about 12 minutes to read this passage. The stories here seem very jumbled and disorganized. Yet I believe that there is one underlying theme; God's desire for unity among his people. God moved the people to call David back to rule, yet there persisted fighting between the denominations of Israel. But God continued to move his people toward unity; serving only one king in one city. That is a message we as the church need to comprehend as well.
