VIII. MAIN BODY:
2 Samuel 12:11 (Amplified Bible)

2 Samuel 15:6 (Amplified Bible)
Thus Absalom did to all Israel who came to the king for judgment. So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
2 Samuel 15:10 (Amplified Bible)
But Absalom sent secret messengers throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then say, Absalom is king at Hebron.
GOD permits all these evils but is not the source of all these evils since the god of this world is not GOD Himself.
2 Corinthians 4:4 (Amplified Bible)
For the god of this world has blinded the unbelievers’ minds [that they should not discern the truth], preventing them from seeing the illuminating light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ (the Messiah), Who is the Image and Likeness of God.
John 10:10 (Amplified Bible)
The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).

"I will take your wives before your eyes and give them to your neighbor, and he shall lie with your wives in the sight of this sun"
I will take: That is, in the course of my providence I will permit this to be done. Such phrases in Scripture do not mean that God either does or can do evil himself; but only that he permits such evil to be done as he foresaw would be done, and which, had he pleased, he might have prevented.
2 Samuel 16:21-22 (Amplified Bible)
And Ahithophel said to Absalom, Go in to your father’s concubines whom he has left to keep the house; and all Israel will hear that you are abhorred by your father. Then the hands of all who are with you will be made strong.
So they spread for Absalom a tent on the top of the [king’s] house, and Absalom went in to his father’s harem in the sight of all Israel.

Ezekiel 14:9 (Amplified Bible)
[The prophet has not been granted permission to give an answer to the hypocritical inquirer] but if the prophet does give the man the answer he desires [thus allowing himself to be a party to the inquirer’s sin], I the Lord will see to it that the prophet is deceived in his answer, and I will stretch out My hand against him and will destroy him from the midst of My people Israel.
Ezekiel 20:25-26 (Amplified Bible)
Wherefore also I gave them [over to] statutes that were not good and ordinances whereby they should not live and could not have life,
And I [let them] pollute and make themselves unclean in their own offerings [to their idols], in that they caused to pass through the fire all the firstborn, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know, understand, and realize that I am the Lord.
Hosea 4:13-14 (Amplified Bible)
They sacrifice on the tops of the mountains, and they burn incense upon the hills and under oaks, poplars, and terebinths, because there the shade is good. Therefore your daughters play the harlot and your sons’ wives commit adultery.
I will not punish your daughters when they play the harlot nor your daughters-in-law when they commit adultery, for [the fathers and husbands] themselves go aside in order to be alone with women who prostitute themselves for gain, and they sacrifice at the altar with dedicated harlots [who surrender their chastity in honor of the goddess]. Therefore the people without understanding shall stumble and fall and come to ruin.
Our partner in life is our weaker vessel, and whatever we do with this life as husbands, our wife are affected as well.
1 Peter 3:7 (Amplified Bible)
In the same way you married men should live considerately with [your wives], with an intelligent recognition [of the marriage relation], honoring the woman as [physically] the weaker, but [realizing that you] are joint heirs of the grace (God’s unmerited favor) of life, in order that your prayers may not be hindered and cut off. [Otherwise you cannot pray effectively.]
IX. CONCLUSION:
Praise, worship, glorify, adore, bless, honor, acknowledge and thank You very much LORD JESUS for You are my Righteousness and Goodness in my life that You have sown Your Righteousness and Your Goodness in Peace. You are my Righteousness, my Goodness and my Prince of Peace and Peace Himself.
