Duration: 85 min 56 s
Description: As David flees Absalom he is beset by three enemies; the deceiver Ziba, the belligerent Shimei, and the traitor Ahithophel; yet because David knows he is both worse than anyone realizes and more loved and forgiven in Christ than anyone can imagine, he can respond with humility and calm trust rather than retaliation, resting in God as his shield.
