Thematic Bible: Exile
Thematic Bible
Exile » Absalom
And the woman said, Why then have you thought such a thing against the people of God? For the king speaks this thing as one who is at fault, in that the king does not bring his banished one home again. For we must all die, and we are as water spilled on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again. And God does not take a life, but has devised plans so that the outcast is not cast out from Him.
And the king said, Let him turn to his own house, and let him not see my face. And Absalom returned to his own house, and did not see the king's face.
Exile » Ittai
Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, Why do you also go with us? Return to your place, and stay with the king. For you are a stranger, and also an exile.
