	Absalom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Absalom is also a name given by Dryden to the Duke of Monmouth, son of Charles II.
		Absalom was now the eldest surviving son of David, and the present position of the narratives (15-20)--after the birth of Solomon and before the struggle between Solomon and Adonijah---may represent the view that the suspicion that he was not the destined heir of his father's throne excited the impulsive youth to rebellion.
		Absalom reached the capital and took counsel with the renowned Ahithophel.

		Absalom, from the Hebrew meaning father of peace, was the third son of King David, and Maacah, one of the king's numerous wives and concubines (2 Samuel 3:3).
		Absalom then made his move, not merely to succeed his father as king, but to replace his father while he was still reigning.
		Absalom then moved to Hebron, the previous capital city of Judah, and declared himself king - thereby triggering a civil war between himself and his father.

	Absalom - Acadine Archive (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Absalom was now probably the oldest surviving son of David, and as he was of royal descent by his mother as well as by his father, he began to aspire to the throne.
		Absalom at length marched out against his father, whose army, under the command of Joab, he encountered on the borders of the forest of Ephraim.
		Absalom fled on a swift mule; but his long flowing hair, or more probably his head, was caught in the bough of an oak, and there he was left suspended till Joab came up and pierced him through with three darts.

	61. His Son Absalom (Continued)
		Though Absalom knew not how to obey, and deserves to die for his atrocious crime, yet he expressed a vehement desire to be judge over all the land, and suggested that suits should not then be so tedious, expensive, and partially decided as they were.
		Absalom sought to sow the seeds of discontent in their minds, to alienate their affections from David, to render them disloyal to their king.
		Absalom saw the defects of his father’s government, and perceived that others saw them too, and quickly and meanly he took advantage of the situation, deprecating David and extolling himself.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Absalom
		Under such circumstances it is not strange that Absalom, idolized by those around him, whilst his natural sense of gratitude and filial duty became gradually dulled, was led to cultivate that species of egotism which grows cruel in proportion as it counts upon the blind affection of its friends.
		Absalom turns the opportunity of this altercation with Joab to good account by pleading his own neglected and humiliated condition: I would rather die ignominiously, he argues, than have this rancour of the King against me all the days of my life.
		The sacred text states that Absalom was buried under a great heap of stones (2 Samuel 18:17) near the scene of his disaster.

	Absalom (1) - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
		Absalom was born at Hebron (2 Samuel 3:3), and moved at an early age, with the transfer of the capital, to Jerusalem, where he spent most of his life.
		Absalom, again reinstated, lost no opportunity to regain lost prestige, and having his mind made up to succeed his father upon the throne, he forgot the son in the politician.
		The death of Absalom was a source of great grief to the fond and aged father, who forgot the ruler and the king in the tenderhearted parent.

	Outline for Dryden's "Absalom and Achitophel"
		Absalom is described this way (verse 25):] But in all Israel there was one to be so much praised as Absalom for his beauty; from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.
		Absalom asks for another opinion and sends for Hushai, who disagrees, reminding the plotters that David is strong and his men are mighty; instead, Absalom should gather "all Israel" as his army and fact David in his own person.
		And absalom rode upon a mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of a great oak, and his head caught hold of the aok, and he was taken up between the heaven and the earth; and the mule that was under him went away.

		The Feast of Absalom was painted by Preti about 1665, when he was living on the island of Malta and engaged in the decoration of the great vault of the Conventual Church of the Knights of St John.
		A wonderful part of it is the movement of Absalom, rising from his chair at one side of the painting, his left hand on the table and with his right directing the killing of his incestuous brother Amnon.
		Next to Absalom, between them in fact, is seated Tamar, with a fanciful bonnet adorned with feathers and jewels, pale and astonished at the sudden drama.

	Blue Letter Bible - Commentaries
		If David says, "Is the young man Absalom safe?" we have none of us had a son that has acted one half so badly as Absalom; and we must, therefore, still forgive and feel a loving interest in those who grieve us.
		If you must judge and answer the question, "Is the young man Absalom safe?" be not so hopeful as to deceive yourselves and others, and be not so severe as to constitute yourselves judges upon a matter in which you can know, after all, but little, unless the whole life has been before you.
		O my dear young brother, I wish that I could answer and say, "Yes, the young man Absalom is safe: he has taken the decisive step, he has resigned himself into the hands of Jesus, and Jesus will keep him to the end." May the Holy Ghost lead you to this.
