2 Samuel 15:31. Fight Your Battles on Your Knees

Then someone told David, saying, “Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” And David said, “O Lord, I pray, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness! 2 Samuel 15:31 This verse describes the situation in which David, the king of Israel, learned that Ahithophel, one of his advisors, had joined the conspiracy against him led by his son Absalom.

Ahithophel was known for his wise counsel, and David understood that his rebellion could pose a serious threat to his kingdom.
