Who was Absalom?
Absalom was a son of King David. His family story includes severe harm, estrangement and a rebellion against his father. He gained supporters, but the conflict brought great loss rather than lasting peace.
Absalom stood near the city gate and won people's favour with promises about their complaints. His story invites careful questions about leadership and persuasive words.
