Absalom’s coup continues. David makes his way to the Jordan following encounters with two people connected to Saul’s house. Once he arrives, our attention moves back to Absalom as he enters Jerusalem. Counselors come into play as Absalom takes Hushai into his service and seeks advice from Ahithophel. What will become of the insurrection? How will David’s preparations serve him? Does the punishment predicted in chapter 12 erase the promise granted in chapter 7? Join us as we consider 2 Samuel 16 and 17!
