David's sons faced tragic fates: Amnon was killed by his half-brother Absalom for assaulting Absalom's sister, Tamar; Absalom died in battle against David's forces while trying to seize the throne; and Adonijah was executed for attempting to claim the throne after David's death. Solomon, David's successor, also had another son, Amnon, who was put to death by Solomon for his rebellion.
Absalom flaunted his brief overthrow of David's throne by riding through the streets in a chariot with fifty men running ahead of him, publicly displaying his power and authority. He also positioned himself at the entrance to the city gate to greet people, enhancing his image as a prominent leader. Additionally, he used his good looks and charisma to win the support of the people and gain popularity among them.
There are actually four questions asked by Samuel to Saul during the course of their conversation. These, in context, are contained within verses 14, 17, 19 and 22.14And Samuel said, What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?15And Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalekites: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed. 16Then Samuel said unto Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee what the LORD hath said to me this night. And he said unto him, Say on. 17And Samuel said, When thou wast little in thine own sight, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel, and the LORD anointed thee king over Israel? 18And the LORD sent thee on a journey, and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they be consumed. 19Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of the LORD, but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of the LORD? 20And Saul said unto Samuel, Yea, I have obeyed the voice of the LORD, and have gone the way which the LORD sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites. 21But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God in Gilgal. 22And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. 23For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
