About this episode
Avshalom is back in Jerusalem. He wastes no time at boosting his popularity and discrediting his father, King David. Soon after, he asks for permission to sacrifice in Hebron, the city in which David was crowned, and he launches a mutiny against his father. David and his close circle abandon the city, preferring to flee rather than thrust Jerusalem into war and bloodshed. We will examine David's state of mind before and during this tragic and challenging moment.
