On today's episode from our series on The Life of David, we explore the greatest betrayal of David's reign - when Absalom leads a coup, and takes with him Ahithophel, David's once trusted advisor. It is a sad tale, filled with intrigue, spies, deception, division, and familial and national heartbreak.

From this story, we learn important lessons on how we are to handle divisive people in our own lives and churches. We also learn how to handle betrayals, and how to watch out for bitterness.

Turn with me to 2 Samuel 14, as we prepare to glean these and many other precious lessons from the life of David.
