This chapter is full of advisors and advice for Absalom who had already chosen an evil path. He rejected the good advice, followed the bad advice—and set the course for his downfall. God was not going to allow him to win this war (v. 14). David’s son was marching toward ruin. It often seems easy to view a situation from the sidelines and predict the outcome—but those in the game often miss the signs—not because they cannot see—but because they will not look. Absalom would not look to God. He was therefore headed to ruin. Our sins will find us out (Numbers 32:23).
