2 Samuel 16:21 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Samuel 16:21

19 Furthermore, ^awhom should I serve? Should I not serve in the presence of his son? As I have served in your father’s presence, so will I be in your presence.”

20 Then Absalom said to ^aAhithophel, “Give advice as to what we should do.”

21 And Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Go in to your father’s ^aconcubines, whom he has left to keep the house; and all Israel will hear that you ^bare abhorred by your father. Then ^cthe hands of all who are with you will be strong.”

22 So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the top of the house, and Absalom went in to his father’s concubines ^ain the sight of all Israel.

23 Now the advice of Ahithophel, which he gave in those days, was as if one had inquired at the oracle of God. So was all the advice of Ahithophel ^aboth with David and with Absalom.
