Read 2 Samuel 13:30-31 – 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 servants stood by with their clothes torn.
Older children who quarrel can be a heavy weight on a father’s heart. In this passage, the result of this family’s fight was murder. Most people, especially Christians, would like the world to think that their family is normal. The truth is that every family has issues and difficult relatives. As we should work towards unity and love in other parts of society, we should work even more so towards harmony within the family. A family that loves and respects each other will be able to handle any of life's struggles. A dad’s heart will be filled with joy if he is surrounded by family who have learned to care for one another.
