,LESSON V.-NOV. x, Igoe,
Absalom Rebels Against David. -z. Sam,
le: nee.
Cemmentary,-I. Absalom stealing the
hearts of the people (vs. 1-6). 1. After.
this. After Absalom's return from Gesh-
ur and his restoration and reception by
David (chap. 14. 21-33), Absalom was no
sooner restored to his place in his fath-
er's family at the court, than he began
to plan to be on the throne. This am-
bition seemed to have grown since the
death of Ammon, though it is thought
it had place in Absalom's heart be-
fore he mur'der'ed his brother and ware
one reason for that cruel deed. He
made his plans successful by his pre-
tended love for public interests; and his
affected piety. But the rebellion failed;
God was against him. Chariots and
horses -Absalom imitated the niagnifi
cence of foreign monarchs in order to
make Lan impression on the people.
Horses were a novelty among the Heb-
rews, only recently introduced from
Egypt, and were eostly and rare, Fifty
A son of the king riding in a state
chariot with fifty footmen as attend-
ants would prove a great attraction.
David was so indulgent that he `seems
to have taken no notice of it.
2. Rose up early --Public business in
the East is in many places transacted
early, before the heat of the day. Pos-
sibly his early rising was intended to
forestall the king, who was eertain to
sit in the gate during part of the day.
It would thus appear that he had the
real good of the people upon his heart,
and would make a noble king, just suit-
ed to their present needs. Those in trou-
ble were likely to fear that justice would
not be shown them, and would eagerly
extend their support to one who appear-
ed concerned for their interests. Absa-
lcm relied greatly upon his own pow-
ers. Though his father was indeed very
forgiving, he despised him in his heart.
"Perhaps he valued himself on being the
son of a king's daughteras well as the
son of a king, and despised his father,
who was but the son of Jesse. His mo-
ther was the daughter of a heathen
king, which .had its influence upon Ab-
salom, making hirer less concerned for
the peace of Israel." -Com, Com. A:bso-
lom's cunning was not observed by the
unsuspecting. Seeing him in so grand
an equipage, and also so condescending,
completely concealed his real design.
3, Good and right -Thus to win favor
he gave a decision before an investiga-
tion was made. "Thy case is a worthy
and righteous one and ought to be tried,
and all thy grievances redressed."-Whe-
don. No anan deputed -Absalom guards
against accusing the king himself of in-
justice; but he excites in the minds of
the people distrust of the king's whole
judicial practise by saying that there
was not regular judicial process for a
just cause, The "hearer" is the judicial
officer whose duty it was first to hear
and understand the people's matters and
then lay thein before the king. -Lange.
4. Oh that I -Taros he professed ex-
traordinary generosity and interest in
public affairs, yet appearing to have no
selfish desire in the .matter. We do not
read of his wisdom, virtue or learning
in the laws, nor had he given any proofs
of his love of justice, yet he wished
to be judge, and such a judge that every
man who had any cause would come to
him. 5. Obeisance -The customary greet-
ing, as bowing to the ground. Amd kissed
hire -Embraced him as a friend or bro-
ther, apparently forgetful of his position
and honor, "He was the Juane of Dav-
id's day." 0, Stole the hearts -By his
beauty and pretended fellowship with
them and anxiety for them, he turned
the people from his father to himself,
"He did not gain their hearts by emin-
ent services or by wise and virtuous
conduct. Absalom suggested that if he
could be judge, suits would not then be
so tedious, expensive and partially de-
cided as they were. Thus he imposed up-
on many all over the land, and ]ed them
to prefer a worthless character, to the
wise, righteous, and pious David." -

I1, Absalom's rebellion (vs. 7-12). 7.
after fortyyears-Rather after four
years. It is generally admitted that
forty- years is a mistake in the text.
The time must be the years after Absa-
lom's return to Jerusalem and his be-
ginning to practice the base arts of
gaining popularity. pay my vow -It
seemed to David that conscience had at
last prevailed, and that right was to be
done. Local sacrifices were still cus-
tomary, and the visit of the king's son
for such a purpose would be celebrated
by a general holiday and much feasting
at Hebron. David was glad at this indi-
cation of religions feeling on Absalom's
part.-Spenee,
8. while ....at Geshur-Where Absa-
lom fled and lived in exile after the mur-
der of Amnon. He pretended to have
been a follower of .Jehovah while at
G-eshur. One of the most terible of this
young man's many sins is his base hyp-
ocrisy in carrying out his rebellious
plans under the cloak of religion.
9. go in peace --These were David's
last words to Absalom. They expressed
his strong confidence in his son, as well
as a wish for his happiness. He sterns
to have been utterly without suspicion
that black conspiracy was hidden under
Absalenes avowed object of going to of-
fer sacrifice at the place of his birth,
and where he himself had reigned over
Judah for - seven years. David was prob-
ably, at this time, a rather lax monareh.
so be. , , , went -'1'o perform the most un-
manly and base act a son could commit
king when•the signal was given. Absa-
lom reigneth-On the sudden spreading
of this proclamation some would con-
clude David was dead, others that he
had resigned; and thus they that were
in the secret would draw to many to
appear for Absalom, who, if they had
rightly -understood the matter, would
have abhorred the thought of it. -Com.
Com.
11. two hundred filen-These were
courtiers such as usually. accompanied
Icings and kings' sons on their journeys.
They were probably of the principal men
of Jerusalem, whom he invited to join
him in the feast at his sacrifice. They
were kept ignorant of Absalom's wicked
plot. 12. Abithophel.... David's coun-
sellor -It is supposed by the Jews that
Ahithophel was incensed against David
for abusing Bathsheba, his granddaugh-
ter. He had been David's most trusty
counsellor; so highly valued was his ad-
vice that men regarded it as an oracle
of God (chap. 16:23), and long had the
king profited by his wisdom and experi-
ence until the outrage upon his family
made him retire from the king's court to
his native city, Giloh, near Hebron. The
manner of Absalom's sending for him
seems to indicate that he was already
connected with the plot. the people in-
creased -This shows that deep and gen-
eral dissatisfaction existed at this time
against the person and government of
David. •
III. David's flight from Jerusalem (vs.
13-37). The rebellion proved popular.
And. Absalom moved swiftly to Jerusa-
lem. As soon as David heard of it he
proposed to flee from Jerusalem and
leave the city and the kingdom to his
son. This action seems very strange.
But, politically considered, David's ac-
tion was the wisest that could have been
taken. His kind nature may have in-
duced him to spare Jerusalem the hor-
rors of a siege and the risk of being
taken by assault. David had no stand-
ing •army with which to resist this sud-
den attack.
Questions. -What can you say of Ab-
salom's character? How did he contrive
to deceive and win the people? What
pretense to piety did he make to David?
How did his father answer? How did
Absalom arrange with the people? Who
was Absalom's another? What can be
said of Absalom's personal appearance?
Why was he not qualified to be a judge?
What was his excuse for wishing to go
to Hebron? What was his real purpose?
Give an account of Absalom's rebellion.
Practical Applications.
"Absalom prepared him chariots and
horses" (v. 1.) This new and striking
luxury was forbidden by the law of God
(Deut, 17; 16; Psa. 20, 7; 33, 17-18.) Dis-
obedience to parents is the first step in
the downward path. A circus was in a
town and a little boy stood watching the.
great tent curiously. A neighbor, com-
ing up, said: "Hallo, Johnny, goin' to
the circus?" "No, 'sir," answered Johnny,
"father don't like 'em." "Oh, well, I'll
give you the money to go," said the
man. `rather don't approve of them."
" WelI, go in for once. I'll pay for you."
"No, sir, my father would give me the
money if he thought it best; besides,
I've got twenty-five cents in my box,
enough to go." I'd go, Johnny, for once;
it's wonderful the way the horses do,
said the man. "Your father needn't
know it." "1 can't," said the bey. "Now,
why?" asked the man. "'Cause," said
Johnny, 'after rye been I couldn't look
father right in the eyes, but I can now.'
"Fifty men to run before hint" (v. 1,)
Pride of pomp was the second step in
Absalom's rebellion. What the "fifty
men" were to Absalom, love of pleasure
and fashion and finery are to our young,
people. Are not professed Christion men
who follow fashion, and professed
Christian women who do not dress ac-
cording to Scripture, largely responsible
for much of the evil in this direction? Is
not the wearing of gold and jewels and
finery a direct violation of the following
precepts: `Be not conformed to this
world" (Rom. 12; 2); "Love not the
world, neither the things that are in the
world'? (1 John 2; 15, 16); "In' like man-
ner also, that women adorn themselves
in modest a,pparel....not with....gold,
or pearls, or costly array" (1 Tim. 2; 0) ;
"Whose adorning let it not be that out-
ward adorning of plaiting the hair, and
of wearing of gold, or of puttting on of
apparel" (1 Pet. 3; 3) ?
"Oh that I were made judge...I would
do him justice" (v. 4). Absalom raised
false expectations, He did not begin
with open rebellion; but disobedience,
display, defamation and dishonor led to
deception and that to deeper sin. A
young man on board a vessel saw a
merchant give the captain a bag of gold
for safe keeping, which be laid upon tl►':
locker and forgot. ".rust for fun," to
frighten the captain, he hid it . The days
went by and no inquiry was made for
it. The young man decided to keep it
until it was missed. At length when it
was called for the young num grew
frightened and resolved to keep his sec-
ret. The captain was arrested, thrown
into prison and died. Out of that secret
deception grew the crimes of theft and
murder.
"He put forth his hand and took him
and kissed him" (v. 5). His cordial cour-
tesy was only on the surface. A fair
fa.ce may hide a foul heart. Satan is
often a counterfeiter and never more
damgero•us than then,
"Two hundred men out of Jerusalem
..went in their simplicity" (v. 11). The
usurper's disloyalty was basely shown
in his leading the unsuspicious into re-
bellion. The devil sometimes appears as
"an angel of light" (IL Cor. 11, 14), and
"many false prophets are gone out into
the world" (I. John 4. 1). To avoid the
evil that befell Absalom's companions
we need to try the spirits, whether they
are of God (I. John 4, 1.0); "to have
the mind of Christ" (I. Cor. 2, le); and
"prove all things" (I. Thess. 5,21) . Ab-
salom was the king's son, -beautiful and
winning, but he was murderer. What
one is must be determined by what one
against a father. _ d

cases of rheumatism afier all other treat-
ment had failed. As a proof of whit
Dr. Williams' Pink Pins will do even
in the most severe cranes of rheumatism,
the case of Mr. David (tarot, e. well-
known furniture dealer of Picture N. S.,
may be cited. Mr. Cerro' says: "1 have
been a most severe sufferer from rheu-
matism, and in the hope that some other
poor sufferer, may find relief from my ex-
perience I gladly write you of the bene-
fit I. have received from Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills, The trouble settled in my
shoulders and down my sides, and at
times I was quite unable to raise my
arm. I was attended by a doctor, but
as I did not .appear to be getting any
better I sent for a so-called electric belt,
far which I paid $40.00. It did net do
me any good and then I tried another
remedy, but without any better results.
A friend asked me to try Dr, Wil-
liams' Pink Pills, and I got three
boxes. By the time I had used them
ail I found the stiffness and pain less
severe, and I got another half dozen
boxes. When I had taken these every
symptom of the trouble had disap-
peared, and in the two years that
have since passed I have had no re-
turn of the trouble. •I believe there is
no other medicine equal to Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills for curing this most
painful trouble, and 1 have recommended
the Pills to others who have been bene-
fited by their use."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills not only cure
rheumatism but all tlhe other diseases
due to poor, watery blood, such as anae-
mia, indigestion, nervous disorders, nen-
ralgia, St. Vitus' dance, paralysis, and
the ailments of girlhood and womanhood,
with their headaches, backaches, side -

Tell everybody how little real food you
find in his discourses. Ridicule his man-

he preaches an old sermon, or that he
has no originality. Point out his de-

the arrangement of his discourses. Do
something thatwill draw the hearers' at-
