There seems to be a lot more written about Absalom.  David had family issues is a real understatement!  I think you were right because I too found Absalom did it first, and tried everything imaginable.

2 Samuel 16:20  Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, “Give your counsel. What shall we do?”
2 Samuel 16:21  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 have made yourself a stench to your father, and the hands of all who are with you will be strengthened.”
2 Samuel 16:22  So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the roof. And Absalom went in to his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel.
2 Samuel 16:23  Now in those days the counsel that Ahithophel gave was as if one consulted the word of God; so was all the counsel of Ahithophel esteemed, both by David and by Absalom.  [ESV]

And this is just a sample of what Absalom did.  And you're right, Absalom did it first.

Yea he was a rascal

I bought a Bible Trivia book  yesterday and there are sections in the books with different questions about different topics, how much do you and I know about the Bible?

I will ask the questions by topics, one question at the time and will post another one when the question is answered.

Hopefully, we learn more  together  what is in  the Bible

The first chapter we do is Laughers and Dancers :

Question 1: Whose entrancing dance proved fatal for John the Baptist?

 

Salome

In one of the Gospels

In the garden as Jesus was being taken away after judas’s betrayal there was a young man watching wrapped in sheet and ended up running away naked 

Who do people believe the naked guy was?

SHALOM❤️

If my memory serves he is only referred to as 'a young man'

That is very true, since it was only included in the gospel of Mark it is believed it was indeed Mark himself that ran naked, otherwise why would the author include this detail, it’s speculation but I think it makes sense 👍

question: who were given the nickname ’ ‘Sons of thunder’ by Jesus?

Yes 👏 

God has shown he has control over all his creation when he wills it

example he made 2 cows carry the Ark of the covenant back to the Israelites 

He had a big fish carry Jonah and spit him up on the shore

He even made a donkey talk to baalam which didn’t take baalam by surprise at all

but what creature did God control that took away Jonahs shade plant 🌱 to teach  a message to him?

 

BONUS: what was the message he was teaching Jonah by doing this?
