Hushai Warns David to Escape
15 Hushai told Zadok and Abiathar, the priests, what Ahithophel had said to Absalom and the elders of Israel and what he himself had advised instead. 16 “Quick!” he told them. “Find David and urge him not to stay at the shallows of the Jordan River tonight. He must go across at once into the wilderness beyond. Otherwise he will die and his entire army with him.”
These verses come from the midst of a story that has all the intrigue of a biblical “spy novel”. Read 2nd Samuel 16:15-17:23.
We all need allies and allies must be cultivated and nurtured. This cultivation and nurturing carries the cost of time, thoughtfulness and devotion. Allies are expensive, but genuine allies are valuable because they can’t be bought.
