Uh oh…Church Discipline (2 Corinthians 2)

This is not one of those “fun” passages of scripture. Mostly because the implications are pretty unsettling.

The Amalekites raided David’s camp during he and his soldier’s absence, plundering his herds, wives, and children. So after grieving, David and his armies rose and pursued these enemies to rescue their wives and children. After overtaking them and recovering everything, they came upon a group of 200 of their men who didn’t have the strength to make the journey and fight the battle.
