2Samuel 19-20; Luke 20:2-38. David is mourning over Absalom to the point that everyone in Israel walks on eggshells. Joab finally rebukes to David to straighten up. So David begins to address the people of Israel. But there are hard feelings between the people of Judah and the rest of Israel. Sheba, a Benjaminite, takes advantage of the situation and declares himself king. David gets the ball rolling to counter his rebellion. Along the way Joab kills Amasa, whom David made commander. Joab finds Sheba in a walled city and prepares to attack. A wise woman of the city has a conversation with Joab and Joab tells her to turn over Sheba and he won't attack the city. Soon the head of Sheba is thrown over the wall.
Jesus continues to supply the disciples the details of what will happen when God decides to destroy Jerusalem. Jesus finishes by telling the parable of the fig tree. It signals when it is ready to begin making fruit by putting out leaves. So when the disciples see these things they will know that redemption is nigh.
