One of the paragraphs in this chapter is the advice that a man gave to Absalom—a son of David who wanted to take the kingdom from his father. His name was Ahithopel, and in verse 21, he pretty much says that his advice for gaining control of the people was to sin against his father as much as he could and to do it in public so everyone would know. Amazingly, this man was not only a respected counselor of Absalom—he was also an advisor to David! A better counselor for anyone is the word of God. “Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors” (Psalm 119:24).
