David Flees From Absalom

It is amazing what a map can do to bring to life events in the Bible.

Today, David P. Barrett of Bible Mapper Atlas posted a map of the events of 2 Samuel 15-16 where David leaves Jerusalem after hearing that his son Absalom has been declared king in Hebron.

Below is the map from Bible Mapper Atlas detailing the events. The events are described in more detail on the site along with links to other maps.

  1. Thank you for this post, Frank. I find maps very helpful when studying the Bible as well. I am using this same site to follow Paul and Barnabas on the first missionary which went from Antioch in Syria up to the region of Galatia and back. The map at this site is a very good one and the Bible Study I am leading has been helped by viewing a map as we read along in the book of Acts (chapters 13 and 14).
