The advice of Ahithophel, which he gave in those days, was as if one inquired of the word of God; so was all the advice of Ahithophel regarded by both David and Absalom.So, whose side is Ahithophel on here? It sounds like he's definitely transferred his loyalty to Absalom. However, he's giving wise council, just like he did to David. Does this mean that he is just wise to the king, whoever that may be? Or is he being used by God?
If he's being used by God, why would God give Absalom good advice? David is the proper king, and God should guide him as such. Absalom is a usurper, and should not have God's favor. Yet here is an adviser giving the same advice regardless of who's on the throne. Does this mean that God actually did favor Absalom? Did He not care? Or did He simply allow Ahithophel to carry on, knowing that it would all come to nothing?
