Absalom Defiels Concubines

Here is a man, Ahithopel, who's advise is usually well takes and good but now give terrible advice to Absalom. Well, then he goes to Hushai or more advice and being too late realizes that the advice of Ahithopel is bad. Now Ahithopel looks at this and commits suicide. Eventually David sends his troops out and of course wins. I found it funny that Absalom ends up dying by his own hand. He hands himself and then get finished off by others. I guess a fathers love never dies even if a child is rebellious.. because David mourned his sons death for a while.
