Ahithophel's Advice

19 Furthermore, whom will I serve if not his son? As I served in your father’s presence, I will also serve in yours.” 20 Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, “Give me your advice. What should we do?” 21 Ahithophel replied to Absalom, “Sleep with your father’s concubines he left to take care of the palace. When all Israel hears that you have become repulsive to your father, everyone with you will be encouraged.”
