A Tale of Three Kings: A Study of Brokenness
by Gene Edwards. Christian Books:Auburn.

This is a book about King Saul, David and Absalom. It is narrative and easy to read. Most interesting of all it is very entertaining :).

Here I put in some of my favorite quotes in this book.

The author's reflection of the relationship between King Saul and David:
"Never learn anything about the fashionable, easily-mastered art of spear throwing."
"Stay out of the company of all spear throwers."
"Keep your mouth tightly closed. "
"In this way, spears will never touch you, even when they pierce your heart. " pg 17-18

A narration on Nathan telling King David the story of Moses as King David seeked his advice on how to deal with the rebel, Absalom:
"No, David. He did not find rest, and the people were not satistifed with God's answer! The very next day the whole congregation murmurred against Moses."
"And men fight to become kings! " David shook his head in perplexity. pg 91

Concluding remarks of King David:
"I shall leave the city. The throne is the LORD's. So is the kingdom. I will not hinder God. No obstacle, no activity on my part lies in the space between God and His Will. He has no hindrance to prevent Him from His Will. If I am not to be king, our God will find no difficulties in making Absalom to be Israel's king. Now it is possible. God shall be God!"
"The true king turned and walked quietly out of the throne room, out of the palace, out of the city. He walked and he walked... Into the bosoms of all men whose hearts are pure." pg98
