Something I have rarely heard talked about is the words and actions of David's brothers. Yes, it would be easy to say they are just looking down on their younger brother, except is it just that? Remember, these same brothers saw David anointed the next king of Israel by the prophet. They should have known his destiny, yet they seem to despise him. It is a reminder that sometimes the very people we think should support us, family, don't. Jesus was rejected by his family (originally) and his hometown. Jesus warned us that "and 'a man's enemies will be those of his own household" Matthew 10:36. It hurts that this can be true, but it is; however, our job is to be faithful no matter what anyone, including family, says.
