2 Samuel 17 - 19
2 SamuelSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg discusses 2 Samuel 17-19, which tells the story of Absalom's rebellion against his father, King David. The elders of Israel were pleased with Absalom, while Ahithophel plotted against David during his vulnerable period. However, Hushai advised Absalom not to pursue David, and instead, to lead his own army out. The battle took place in the forest, and despite being vastly outnumbered, David's men emerged victorious. Joab killed Absalom, and David mourned his son's death. Despite the unrest in Israel, David was eventually brought back to the throne, and Judah showed special loyalty to him.
