Absolom gets conflicting advice, with Hushai deliberately trying to give bad advice. He suceeds by flatering Absolom, as Husahai's plan involves Absolom going and doing it himself, rather than relying on others. Also, there is no mention in this passage of Absolom seeking the Lord, which is a phrase has occured coutless times in 1 and 2 samuel when people have needed advice.
Do I seek God first when I don't know what to do? And am I more likely to listen to advice that flatters me rather than trying to discern God's voice?
