2 Samuel 15:25 meaning
In the midst of turmoil caused by Absalom's rebellion, we see David exemplifying profound faith and submission to God's will. He instructs Zadok, the high priest, to return the ark of the covenant to Jerusalem, displaying his priority for God's presence over his personal security. His words reveal a trust that irrespective of his current distress, should he find favor in the Lord, he would be restored to both his throne and the sanctuary of God. This establishes a poignant contrast between David’s humility and Absalom’s rebellious ambition.

- John 19:12-15 meaning. The Jews' Blasphemy: "We Have No King but Caesar." Pilate made efforts to release Jesus, but the Jews put him in a diabolical bind by framing his choose as to either support Caesar or betray him. Pilate ends the trial from his Judgment Seat. He gives the Jews a diabolical dilemma of their own when He presents Jesus and says: "Behold Your King." This forces the Jews to either accept Jesus as their King (in order to crucify Him) or deny that He is their King and admit that He is innocent of their charges. Rather than do either, the chief priests choose to blaspheme, saying "We have no King but Caesar." Their blasphemy all but seals Jesus's conviction. This event is part of the third phase of Jesus's Civil Trial. This phase is called: "Pilate's Judgment."
- Micah 1:8-16 meaning. Micah mourns the LORD’s forthcoming judgement on His people.
