David had some crazy kids. One of his sons raped one of his daughters and another killed the son who raped the daughter and that son, Absalom plotted to take the kingdom from his father David and did for a time. Eventually Absalom was killed and David got his kingdom back but David wept and mourned for days for his son. His love extended beyond the betrayal and wrongdoings Absalom had. I believe this is another reason David is a man after Gods own heart because God is much the same. No matter the sin or how bad we think we messed up God still loves us deeply.
I know I love my sons deeply and right now I can't fathom them doing things like Absalom did but I know I would love them just the same. No matter how crazy they get I will love them.
