Alex Trebek: So, tell me a little bit about yourself!

Contestant: Well, Alex, I'd like to tell you about 2 Samuel 14.

Alex Trebek: (sighs) Okay, go ahead.

Contestant: This chapter tells the story of Joab, who was David's army general. He was concerned with David's lack of children, so he devised a plan to bring back David's son, Absalom, who had been exiled. Joab convinced a wise woman to speak to King David and convince him to allow Absalom to come home. David agreed, and Absalom was returned to the court.

Alex Trebek: (sighs) That's great, but let's talk about something else.

Contestant: Sure, but I also wanted to tell you about how Absalom's return caused a lot of political unrest in the kingdom. He was plotting to overthrow his father and take the throne for himself. In the end, he was defeated by David's forces and died in battle.

Alex Trebek: (sighs) That's really interesting, but why don't we talk about something else?

Contestant: Sure, but I'd also like to tell you about the consequences of Absalom's death. David mourned his son deeply and was so grief-stricken that he refused to eat for days. The people of Israel were also greatly saddened by the death of their beloved prince.

Alex Trebek: (sighs) Alright, that's enough about the Bible. Let's talk about something else.
