2 Samuel 15:25 meaning

In the midst of turmoil caused by Absalom's rebellion, we see David exemplifying profound faith and submission to God's will. He instructs Zadok, the high priest, to return the ark of the covenant to Jerusalem, displaying his priority for God's presence over his personal security. His words reveal a trust that irrespective of his current distress, should he find favor in the Lord, he would be restored to both his throne and the sanctuary of God. This establishes a poignant contrast between David’s humility and Absalom’s rebellious ambition.
