The Spy Who Said the Right Things

The Plan That Should Have Worked
2 Samuel 17:1-4Ahithophel is presenting his strike plan to Absalom — a tactically brilliant proposal to hit David that very night while he is exhausted, demoralized, and vulnerable.
The Roll Call of the Thirty
2 Samuel 23:24-39Ahithophel appears here as the father of Eliam, one of the thirty — a jarring detail given that Ahithophel was David's advisor who betrayed him, yet his son is honored among David's most loyal men.
