*THE CONSPIRACY OF ABSALOM*

*By Pastor E O Gabriel  08 July 2024*

SCRIPTURE: And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's Counsellor, from his City, even from Giloh, while he offered Sacrifices. And the Conspiracy was Strong; for the People increased continually with Absalom - *‭2 Samuel 15:12 KJV‬*

*There are a number of Conspiracies in the Bible, but the Conspiracy of Absalom against David was described as a Strong Conspiracy.*

*Why was it Strong?*

*There are a number of reasons, some of which are:*

*(1)* The Conspiracy was Masterminded by an Insider. 

Absalom was the son of David - *Psalms 55: 12-14*

*(2)* He was a Helper Sent by God. 

*Ahithophel was David's counsellor whose Counsel was as if a man had enquired at the Oracle of God* - *2 Samuel 16:23*

*(3)* The number of the Conspirators kept increasing - *Psalms 3:1*

*(4)* The Conspiracy was to discredit David's Past Great Achievements.

*(5)* The Conspiracy was to give David a Bitter and Sorrowful End.

*(6)* The Success or Failure of the Conspiracy is Painful. 

David wept when the Conspiracy of Absalom was crushed - *2 Samuel 18:33*

*(7)* The Conspiracy is linked to the sin of David - *Psalms 107: 17;  Lamentations 1:5*

*Prayer:*

Father, Please arise on my behalf against every Strong Conspiracy against me in Jesus Christ Name.
