Guiding Questions: II Samuel 17

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. Why might Achitophel want to be the man to pursue and kill David rather than to allow Absalom to lead the men into war?
  2. How is Hushai’s advice to Absalom better for David than Achitophel’s plan?
  3. Why did Achitophel kill himself?
  4. To fully understand David’s appreciation of the kindness he was shown in II Samuel 17:27-29 see I Kings 2:7.
