Rape and Murder in David's Household... And he does nothing!

The Daily Nugget

About
Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike examines 2 Samuel 13–14 and the devastating
consequences of injustice, failed leadership, and apathy. Amnon commits a
horrific act against Tamar, David becomes angry but fails to act, and
Absalom takes justice into his own hands, leading to even more destruction.
These chapters remind us that injustice is not merely the result of those
who do evil; it is also enabled by those who see evil and refuse to act.
God calls us not only to reject injustice but to pursue what is right,
protect the vulnerable, and never allow apathy to take the place of
justice.
