This paper surveys the episode of Absalom's rebellion and the stories of Hushai and Ahithophel, revealing how YHWH frustrates Absalom's will and punishes him accordingly.
The narrator in 2 Sam. 17.14b does not clarify Absalom's sin. To demonstrate Absalom's sin, this paper surveys the episode regarding Absalom's rebellion (2 Sam. 15.1-12) through related texts in the book of Samuel. Then it considers the stories about the two counselors, Hushai and Ahithophel (16.15-17.14). This examination reveals that Ahithophel's two counsels aim to promote the unity Absalom pursues in 15.1-12 and that this will of Absalom is frustrated by Hushai and actually by YHWH. YHWH defeats Absalom's will, just as Absalom's rebellion opposes YHWH's will; YHWH punishes Absalom measure for measure. Therefore, 2 Sam. 17.14b proves that YHWH upholds the measure for measure theological principle.
