David's Humble Flight for His People

2 Samuel 15:14 "And David said unto all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem,

Arise, and let us flee; for we shall not else escape from Absalom: make speed

to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly, and bring evil upon us,

and smite the city with the edge of the sword." David chose humility. Rather than fight

for the throne and endanger Jerusalem, he fled to protect the people. This moment reveals

the heart of a true shepherd—one who is willing to suffer personally to spare others.

David trusted God more than his position, knowing the throne was given by the Lord and could be

restored. God may call us to step away so He can work beyond our strength.
