Absalom, David's third son, revolted against him. The Bible says that the conspiracy was strong (2 Samuel 15:12), strong enough to send David and his men running out of the city. Absalom had a lot of people with him, including Ahithophel, David's counsellor.
Ahithophel counselled Absalom to sleep with his father's concubines and he did. This was one punishment that had been pronounced against David in 2 Samuel 12:11-12. Evil arose against him from his own house through Absalom.
David was distressed at this time. It was a repeat of what had happened before he ascended the throne; only that this time, he was running from his own son, not king Saul. Despite the hurt of his son's betrayal, David still trusted God. He wrote Psalm 3, a prayer for deliverance, at this time.
Thankfully, he still had loyalists who went with him, bringing food, drinks, and offering comfort. He also had informants like Hushai the Archite who gave him information about the happenings in the palace. This buttresses the point made earlier about the importance of raising men who will stand for you and with you in times of trouble.
God was merciful to David. He prayed for God to convert Ahithophel's counsel to foolishness (2 Samuel 15:31) and God heard him. Ahithophel eventually killed himself because his counsel was not heeded (2 Samuel 17:23). God began to fight for David from within the palace, even before the open battle. God used Hushai to defeat Ahithophel's good counsel and make Absalom go to war in person. Absalom died in that war.
David's attitude towards Absalom's death is noteworthy, he actually wept for him. He wept for the son who had dishonoured him to the point of taking over his throne and turning his kingdom against him.
Beloved, we are surrounded by battles in this world but we need to hold on to God who is the great Deliverer. Let us remember that God is faithful to always deliver His children from trouble. Let us hold on to this promise of God who never fails.
