A Tale of Two Counselors
The verse names two of David's most famous advisors: Ahithophel and Hushai. Commentators highlight the dramatic contrast between them. Ahithophel was known for his brilliant but ultimately treacherous counsel, which ended in his suicide. Hushai, the 'king's friend,' was the model of faithfulness, whose loyalty and wisdom saved David's kingdom during Absalom's rebellion.
