    Welcome to 2 Samuel, Shmuel part Bet, chapter fourteen

    Episode 42: We Won't Get Fooled Again

    David is once again duped into adjudicating against his own behavior. Yoav seeks to return Avshalom and uses a wise woman from Tekoa to fabricate a tale of one brother who kills another accidentally in the field and is being pursued by the blood avenger.

    Eventually David uncovers the message and agrees to his son's return in a limited fashion, absent the permission to see the king directly.

    Avshalom, ever the schemer, waits 2 more years sequestered away before demanding a familial reunion, only to be rebuffed by, of all people Yoav, his interlocutor. Avshalom's strongarm tactics bear fruit and Yoav eventually reunites father and son who kiss and make up.

    We wonder if there is more lurking under the surface, to Yoav's behavior, what the wisdom of the wise woman really is and why David continues to be passive in all that occurs.
