2 Samuel 17<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> (<\/span>See our study of 2 Samuel for information on David\u2019s mole, Hushai<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>)<\/p>\n

This passage can be\u00a0seen through the activity of\u00a0Hushai. He advises Absalom on how to capture David against the sound advice of Ahithophel (1-14) and advises David on how to escape (15-29).<\/p>\n

If Absalom listened to Ahithophel\u00a0and pursued David, David would have been captured\u00a0and killed. Hushai\u00a0knew this and went into immediate action. He convinced Absalom, by the power of God, to disregard Ahithophel\u00a0although he was considered\u00a0to be God\u2019s prophet (see previous study in 2 Samuel 16<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>). When Absalom listened to Hushai\u2019s advice over Ahithophel, Ahithophel knew he was a doomed man. He knows Hushai\u2019s advice would fail, and Absalom would be capture or killed, and that he would be executed. This is why he decided to commit suicide (23). <\/span>See our study of Psalm 55<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There are spies throughout the land seeking to help David and hurt David. He escapes to safety. A note of interest is where David was when these betrayals took place. He was in Jerusalem, started toward the Mount of Olives, and left via the Kidron and Hinnom\u00a0Valleys. This was the same path Jesus took when He was to be\u00a0betrayed by Judas. For Bahurim see our study in 2 Samuel 16.<\/p>\n
