What does the Bible say about a father's love?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible illustrates a father's love through King David's lament for his son Absalom, showcasing love that endures despite rebellion.

The Bible offers poignant examples of a father's love, most notably seen in King David's grief over his son Absalom. Despite Absalom's treachery and attempts to usurp David's throne, David's heart is filled with love and sorrow for his son. This narrative highlights that a father's love is not extinguished by a child's failures or sins. It powerfully illustrates the biblical principle that 'love covers a multitude of sins' (1 Peter 4:8). David's actions demonstrate the capacity of a father's heart to desire the good of his child, even amid deep hurt and betrayal.
