“…8.7b seems in tension with the description that the people are doing to Samuel (just as they have done to YHWH) in 8.8. However, as Nihan (2013: 242) explains, v. 8 aims to reveal that the request for kingship is “just another instance of Israel’s ongoing disloyalty toward their patron deity since the exodus.”…”

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.
