About this Bible story
Absalom was King David's son and had a complicated life. He wanted to be king himself, which led to conflict in the family. The Bible tells us about his story in 2 Samuel 18:33, where David cries, 'O my son Absalom! My son, my son Absalom!'
“O my son Absalom! My son, my son Absalom!”

More about these Bible coloring pages
When my 9-year-old picked up the Absalom coloring page last week, she was excited to learn about the story behind it. It sparked her interest in family relationships as we colored together. The illustration of David's grief, where he calls out, 'O my son Absalom!' (2 Samuel 18:33), led to a heartfelt discussion about choices and consequences. Each of the six pages highlights a different moment from Absalom's life, making it easy for kids to connect. We even used crayons and markers to bring the scenes to life. I can't wait to share this free printable with my homeschool group; it's so valuable for teaching important lessons.
