*2 Samuel 20*
*Dealing with Division **Sun, Mar 4th 2007*
----
*Fighting surgeons leave patient in the lurch*
True story – Posted Wed Feb 21, 8:45 AM ET(Reuters)
*BELGRADE, SERBIA - A routine appendix operation in Belgrade went badly wrong when two surgeons started fighting and stormed from the operating theater to settle their dispute outside, the daily Politika reported*
*Surgeon Spasoje Radulovic was operating when his colleague Dragan Vukanic entered and made a remark that started a quarrel, said the anesthesiologist on duty.*
*"At one moment Vukanic pulled the ear of the operating doctor slapped him in the face and walked out," she said.*
*Radulovic followed and an all-out fight ensued, resulting in bruises, a split lip, loose teeth and a fractured finger.*
*The operation was completed successfully by the attending assistant doctor.
*
*So arguments – are not helpful or right*
· True in the operating room…true in church
*Today we see such a argument in David’s life *:* *
· See him deal with it….and how we should
· Quick background–David is king, again– restored
· In process of returning to throne

ii) Issues of envy and self seeking
*e.
**In such an atmosphere…notice what happens next*
*2. **Son of Satan*
*a. **Word rebel – lit man of beliel*
i) Translated differently - Nasb – Worthless fellow, Niv – troublemaker, Nrsv – scoundrel, Kjv – a man of Belial
ii) *1 Cor 6:5* – uses as a title of satan
iii) Call this man a flunky of satan
*b. **Want you to see this, satan’s strategy **2 Cor 2:11*

*c.
**In carnality – satan often has a flunky to make worse*
