Absalom’s greatest mistake was assuming that all those surrounding him were loyal to his cause. Not everyone singing your praises and cheering you on means well for you. Absalom had the privilege of hearing Ahithophel’s wise counsel, but ignored it and chose to go by Hushai’s advice because it seemed more pleasing in his ears. Absalom did not know that Hushai came from David’s camp.
