Along the way, David faces both loyalty and betrayal—encountering people like Ziba, Shimei, and Hushai. Meanwhile, Absalom takes control in Jerusalem, but ultimately, his rebellion leads to a decisive battle. Chapter 18 ends with Absalom’s death, bringing both victory for David and deep personal grief as he mourns his son.
