2 Coríntios 1 9-2 Coríntios 1 11
Indeed, we felt we had received the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead.He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us again. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us,as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many. (niv)

Jó 33:16-30
he may speak in their ears and terrify them with warnings,to turn them from wrongdoing and keep them from pride,to preserve them from the pit, their lives from perishing by the sword.“ Or someone may be chastened on a bed of pain with constant distress in their bones,so that their body finds food repulsive and their soul loathes the choicest meal.Their flesh wastes away to nothing, and their bones, once hidden, now stick out.They draw near to the pit, and their life to the messengers of death.Yet if there is an angel at their side, a messenger, one out of a thousand, sent to tell them how to be upright,and he is gracious to that person and says to God,‘ Spare them from going down to the pit; I have found a ransom for them—let their flesh be renewed like a child’s; let them be restored as in the days of their youth’—then that person can pray to God and find favor with him, they will see God’s face and shout for joy; he will restore them to full well- being.And they will go to others and say,‘ I have sinned, I have perverted what is right, but I did not get what I deserved.God has delivered me from going down to the pit, and I shall live to enjoy the light of life.’“ God does all these things to a person— twice, even three times—to turn them back from the pit, that the light of life may shine on them.

2 Samuel 13 1-2 Samuel 13 39
In the course of time, Amnon son of David fell in love with Tamar, the beautiful sister of Absalom son of David.Amnon became so obsessed with his sister Tamar that he made himself ill. She was a virgin, and it seemed impossible for him to do anything to her.Now Amnon had an adviser named Jonadab son of Shimeah, David’s brother. Jonadab was a very shrewd man.He asked Amnon,“ Why do you, the king’s son, look so haggard morning after morning? Won’t you tell me?” Amnon said to him,“ I’m in love with Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.”“ Go to bed and pretend to be ill,” Jonadab said.“ When your father comes to see you, say to him,‘ I would like my sister Tamar to come and give me something to eat. Let her prepare the food in my sight so I may watch her and then eat it from her hand.’”So Amnon lay down and pretended to be ill. When the king came to see him, Amnon said to him,“ I would like my sister Tamar to come and make some special bread in my sight, so I may eat from her hand.”David sent word to Tamar at the palace:“ Go to the house of your brother Amnon and prepare some food for him.”So Tamar went to the house of her brother Amnon, who was lying down. She took some dough, kneaded it, made the bread in his sight and baked it.Then she took the pan and served him the bread, but he refused to eat.“ Send everyone out of here,” Amnon said. So everyone left him.Then Amnon said to Tamar,“ Bring the food here into my bedroom so I may eat from your hand.” And Tamar took the bread she had prepared and brought it to her brother Amnon in his bedroom.But when she took it to him to eat, he grabbed her and said,“ Come to bed with me, my sister.”“ No, my brother!” she said to him.“ Don’t force me! Such a thing should not be done in Israel! Don’t do this wicked thing.What about me? Where could I get rid of my disgrace? And what about you? You would be like one of the wicked fools in Israel. Please speak to the king; he will not keep me from being married to you.”But he refused to listen to her, and since he was stronger than she, he raped her.Then Amnon hated her with intense hatred. In fact, he hated her more than he had loved her. Amnon said to her,“ Get up and get out!”“ No!” she said to him.“ Sending me away would be a greater wrong than what you have already done to me.” But he refused to listen to her.He called his personal servant and said,“ Get this woman out of my sight and bolt the door after her.”So his servant put her out and bolted the door after her. She was wearing an ornate robe, for this was the kind of garment the virgin daughters of the king wore.Tamar put ashes on her head and tore the ornate robe she was wearing. She put her hands on her head and went away, weeping aloud as she went.Her brother Absalom said to her,“ Has that Amnon, your brother, been with you? Be quiet for now, my sister; he is your brother. Don’t take this thing to heart.” And Tamar lived in her brother Absalom’s house, a desolate woman.When King David heard all this, he was furious.And Absalom never said a word to Amnon, either good or bad; he hated Amnon because he had disgraced his sister Tamar.Two years later, when Absalom’s sheepshearers were at Baal Hazor near the border of Ephraim, he invited all the king’s sons to come there.Absalom went to the king and said,“ Your servant has had shearers come. Will the king and his attendants please join me?”“ No, my son,” the king replied.“ All of us should not go; we would only be a burden to you.” Although Absalom urged him, he still refused to go but gave him his blessing.Then Absalom said,“ If not, please let my brother Amnon come with us.” The king asked him,“ Why should he go with you?”But Absalom urged him, so he sent with him Amnon and the rest of the king’s sons.Absalom ordered his men,“ Listen! When Amnon is in high spirits from drinking wine and I say to you,‘ Strike Amnon down,’ then kill him. Don’t be afraid. Haven’t I given you this order? Be strong and brave.”So Absalom’s men did to Amnon what Absalom had ordered. Then all the king’s sons got up, mounted their mules and fled.While they were on their way, the report came to David:“ Absalom has struck down all the king’s sons; not one of them is left.”The king stood up, tore his clothes and lay down on the ground; and all his attendants stood by with their clothes torn.But Jonadab son of Shimeah, David’s brother, said,“ My lord should not think that they killed all the princes; only Amnon is dead. This has been Absalom’s express intention ever since the day Amnon raped his sister Tamar.My lord the king should not be concerned about the report that all the king’s sons are dead. Only Amnon is dead.”Meanwhile, Absalom had fled. Now the man standing watch looked up and saw many people on the road west of him, coming down the side of the hill. The watchman went and told the king,“ I see men in the direction of Horonaim, on the side of the hill.”Jonadab said to the king,“ See, the king’s sons have come; it has happened just as your servant said.”As he finished speaking, the king’s sons came in, wailing loudly. The king, too, and all his attendants wept very bitterly.Absalom fled and went to Talmai son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur. But King David mourned many days for his son.After Absalom fled and went to Geshur, he stayed there three years.And King David longed to go to Absalom, for he was consoled concerning Amnon’s death.

2 Samuel 16 1-2 Samuel 16 23
When David had gone a short distance beyond the summit, there was Ziba, the steward of Mephibosheth, waiting to meet him. He had a string of donkeys saddled and loaded with two hundred loaves of bread, a hundred cakes of raisins, a hundred cakes of figs and a skin of wine.The king asked Ziba,“ Why have you brought these?” Ziba answered,“ The donkeys are for the king’s household to ride on, the bread and fruit are for the men to eat, and the wine is to refresh those who become exhausted in the wilderness.”The king then asked,“ Where is your master’s grandson?” Ziba said to him,“ He is staying in Jerusalem, because he thinks,‘ Today the Israelites will restore to me my grandfather’s kingdom.’”Then the king said to Ziba,“ All that belonged to Mephibosheth is now yours.”“ I humbly bow,” Ziba said.“ May I find favor in your eyes, my lord the king.”As King David approached Bahurim, a man from the same clan as Saul’s family came out from there. His name was Shimei son of Gera, and he cursed as he came out.He pelted David and all the king’s officials with stones, though all the troops and the special guard were on David’s right and left.As he cursed, Shimei said,“ Get out, get out, you murderer, you scoundrel!The Lord has repaid you for all the blood you shed in the household of Saul, in whose place you have reigned. The Lord has given the kingdom into the hands of your son Absalom. You have come to ruin because you are a murderer!”Then Abishai son of Zeruiah said to the king,“ Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Let me go over and cut off his head.”But the king said,“ What does this have to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? If he is cursing because the Lord said to him,‘ Curse David,’ who can ask,‘ Why do you do this?’”David then said to Abishai and all his officials,“ My son, my own flesh and blood, is trying to kill me. How much more, then, this Benjamite! Leave him alone; let him curse, for the Lord has told him to.It may be that the Lord will look upon my misery and restore to me his covenant blessing instead of his curse today.”So David and his men continued along the road while Shimei was going along the hillside opposite him, cursing as he went and throwing stones at him and showering him with dirt.The king and all the people with him arrived at their destination exhausted. And there he refreshed himself.Meanwhile, Absalom and all the men of Israel came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel was with him.Then Hushai the Arkite, David’s confidant, went to Absalom and said to him,“ Long live the king! Long live the king!”Absalom said to Hushai,“ So this is the love you show your friend? If he’s your friend, why didn’t you go with him?”Hushai said to Absalom,“ No, the one chosen by the Lord, by these people, and by all the men of Israel— his I will be, and I will remain with him.Furthermore, whom should I serve? Should I not serve the son? Just as I served your father, so I will serve you.”Absalom said to Ahithophel,“ Give us your advice. What should we do?”Ahithophel answered,“ Sleep with your father’s concubines whom he left to take care of the palace. Then all Israel will hear that you have made yourself obnoxious to your father, and the hands of everyone with you will be more resolute.”So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the roof, and he slept with his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.Now in those days the advice Ahithophel gave was like that of one who inquires of God. That was how both David and Absalom regarded all of Ahithophel’s advice. (niv)
