Retelling the Bible

8.15 Olympics: Javelin


Listen Later

Here is a special Olympic summer edition of Retelling the Bible -- telling a story related to an Olympic event. This story is about the Javelin Throw.

Absalom hangs by his hair in an oak tree awaiting his fate. This gives him a lot of time to think about what has brought him to such a state.

Based on 2 Samuel 13-18.
