2Sa 15:33-34 | MHM | STEP | v. 33-34 : David told Hushai not to come with him, but to return to Jerusalem and pretend to serve Absalom (2 Samuel 15:33-34 ). David wanted Hushai to try to stop Absalom from following Ahithophel’s advice, or to warn David about Absalom’s plans. This was a wise strategy, even if it involved pretending. Sometimes, in serious danger, people use clever plans to protect what is right.
