1 Corinthians 4 8-1 Corinthians 4 18
Already you are satisfied! Already you are rich! You have become kings without us! I wish you had become kings so that we could reign with you!For, I think, God has exhibited us apostles last of all, as men condemned to die, because we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to people.We are fools for Christ, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, we are dishonored!To the present hour we are hungry and thirsty, poorly clothed, brutally treated, and without a roof over our heads.We do hard work, toiling with our own hands. When we are verbally abused, we respond with a blessing, when persecuted, we endure,when people lie about us, we answer in a friendly manner. We are the world’s dirt and scum, even now.I am not writing these things to shame you, but to correct you as my dear children.For though you may have ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, because I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel.I encourage you, then, be imitators of me.For this reason, I have sent Timothy to you, who is my dear and faithful son in the Lord. He will remind you of my ways in Christ, as I teach them everywhere in every church.Some have become arrogant, as if I were not coming to you.

I will rout him, and the entire army that is with him will flee. I will kill only the kingand will bring the entire army back to you. In exchange for the life of the man you are seeking, you will get back everyone. The entire army will return unharmed.”This seemed like a good idea to Absalom and to all the leaders of Israel.
