v14b But God will not take away life, and he devises means so that the banished one will not remain an outcast.
In response, David brings Absolom the outcast back into the city and eventually back into his presence, but it only seems to be partial forgiveness, partial reconciliation. Fortunately, the woman was right about God. I should be banished from God's presence because I have turned my back on him and lived my own way. I should have my life taken from me. But God devised a way so that I do not remain an outcast, through Jesus death and resurrection.
