Read 2 Samuel 19.8c-15. In 19.11-43: David returns to Jerusalem. In verse 11: David contacts the leaders of elders of Judah to encourage them to welcome him back as king. In verse 13: David appoints Amasa as his army commander in place of Joab. Amasa was David's nephew (17.25) and had been Absalom's commander. This provides a motive for Joab's murder of Amasa (20.10). In verse 14: Amasa, in turn, persuades the people (army) of Judah' to return David. Comments or Questions..
