Commentary on 2 Samuel 16:23

Theological / Devotional

With David. Ahithophel had been the counselor of David before he became the counselor of Absalom (2 Samuel 15:12). He had been held in high esteem for his wisdom. But as he cast conscience aside, he began to resort to any device to achieve his ends. As the counselor of Absalom he was shrewd and wily, thinking only of the results to be achieved and willing to employ whatever measure he felt necessary.
