2 Samuel 16:21--17:4
16:21 Ahithophel replied to Absalom, “Have sex with
your father’s concubines whom he left to care for the palace. All Israel will hear that you have made yourself repulsive to your father. Then your followers will be motivated to support you.”
16:22 So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the roof,
and Absalom had sex with
his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.
16:23 In those days Ahithophel’s advice was considered as valuable as a prophetic revelation. Both David and Absalom highly regarded the advice of Ahithophel.
The Death of Ahithophel
17:1 Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Let me pick out twelve thousand men. Then I will go and pursue David this very night.
17:2 When I catch up with him he will be exhausted and worn out. I will rout him, and the entire army that is with him will flee. I will kill only the king
17:3 and will bring the entire army back to you. In exchange for the life of the man you are seeking, you will get back everyone. The entire army will return unharmed.”
17:4 This seemed like a good idea to Absalom and to all the leaders of Israel.
Mark 14:10-11
The Plan to Betray Jesus
14:10 Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Jesus into their hands.
14:11 When they heard this, they were delighted and promised to give him money. So Judas began looking for an opportunity to betray him.
Acts 23:14-15
23:14 They
went
to the chief priests
and the elders and said, “We have bound ourselves with a solemn oath
not to partake
of anything until we have killed Paul.
23:15 So now you and the council
request the commanding officer
to bring him down to you, as if you were going to determine
his case
by conducting a more thorough inquiry.
We are ready to kill him
before he comes near this place.”
Romans 1:32
1:32 Although they fully know
God’s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die,
they not only do them but also approve of those who practice them.
