When You Just Can’t Believe It!
Part of this chapter of Psalms, King David speaks of his close friend and advisor, Ahithophel. This man was one of David’s most trusted counselors. Whenever there was a troubling issue to be decided upon, King David would seek wisdom from Ahithophel. But David’s son Absolom had conspired against his father and forced his father from Jerusalem. When he did, he sat upon his father’s throne, and instead of Ahithophel fleeing Jerusalem with the king, he stayed with the rebel son.
