Welcome back to Reading with Ben! Let's continue the lecture on the book of 2 Samuel.
This is episode #09 chapters 17 & 18.
2 Samuel Chapter 18, Ahithophel told Absalom that he should select 12,000 men so they could pursue David while he was weak and tired. This seemed like a good plan to Absalom. Then Absalom wanted to talk to Hushai the Arkite to hear what he had to say about this plan. Hushai told him that the plan was not a good one.
2 Samuel Chapter 18, tells of the battle David faced against his own son Absalom and of his victorious command of the thousands of men who followed him.
