INTRODUCTION: Who's in charge? Was it Absalom? No, he died hanging from the oak tree. Was it Joab who prompted David to action? No, he was to be replaced by Amasa (2 Samuel 19:13) … maybe. Was it Abishai who desired the death of Shimei? No, Shimei was to be pardoned … for the time being. Was it David? The tribes of Israel hesitated (2 Samuel 19:9-10). Then, David prompted his own tribe of Judah to action (2 Samuel 19:11). David was indeed to be king (2 Samuel 19:22): "for do not I know that I am this day king over Israel?" David was in charge. As such, it was to be a day of forgiveness and mercy (Shimei and Mephibosheth). It was a day of grace and blessing (Barzillai and Chimham). Truly David could say, "I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD. Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem" (Psalm 122:1-2) as he prepared to ascend from the valley of the Jordan up through the hills of Judah to the gates of Jerusalem.
