To help the enemy of (one’s country, cause, etc.); be a traitor to. 2. To deliver or expose to an enemy traitorously. 3. To break faith with; fail to meet the hopes of: he betrayed my trust in him. 4. To lead astray; deceive: as to seduce and then desert. 5. To reveal unknowingly or against one’s wishes: his face betrays his fear. 6. To reveal or show signs of; indicate: the house betrays its age. 7. To disclose (secret information, confidential plans, etc.) Our Main Text Is: Micah 7:1-10. “Woe is me! For I am like those who gather summer fruits, Like those who glean vintage grapes; There is no cluster to eat Of the first-ripe fruit which my soul desires. 2 The faithful man has perished from the earth, And there is no one upright among men. They all lie in wait for blood; Every man hunts his brother with a net. 3 That they may successfully do evil with both hands—The prince asks for gifts, The judge seeks a bribe, And the great man utters his evil desire; So they scheme together. 4 The best of them is like a brier; The most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge; The day of your watchman and your punishment comes; Now shall be their perplexity. 5 Do not trust in a friend; Do not put your confidence in a companion; Guard the doors of your mouth From her who lies in your bosom. 6 For son dishonors father, Daughter rises against her mother, Daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; A man’s enemies are the men of his own household. 7 Therefore I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation; My God will hear me. 8 Do not rejoice over me, my enemy; When I fall, I will arise; When I sit in darkness, The LORD will be a light to me. 9 I will bear the indignation of the LORD, Because I have sinned against Him, Until He pleads my case And executes justice for me. He will bring me forth to the light; I will see His righteousness. 10 Then she who is my enemy will see, And shame will cover her who said to me, “Where is the LORD your God?” My eyes will see her; Now she will be trampled down Like mud in the streets.” This message is actually aimed at discovering what the reward of betrayal is, but we will along the line examine certain facts that are embedded in the process of betrayal as we profile the lives of two people in the Bible who happen to be father and son. To start with, three levels of betrayal occur in and around any nation and any given society. These are family betrayal (as in the case of Joseph and Samson), church betrayal and national betrayal. Also, this message is designed to serve dual purposes; to encourage those who have at one time or the other suffered betrayal or who are going through betrayal presently and to warn those who specialize in betraying others as well as those who allow themselves to be used for betrayal.

“ThenNathansaidtoDavid,“Youaretheman!ThussaystheLORDGodofIsrael:‘I anointedyoukingover Israel, and Ideliveredyou from thehandof Saul. 8Igaveyouyourmaster’shouseandyourmaster’swives intoyourkeeping,andgave you the house of Israel and Judah. And if that had been too little, I alsowouldhavegivenyoumuchmore!9Whyhaveyoudespisedthecommandmentof the LORD, to do evil inHis sight?Youhave killedUriah theHittitewith thesword; youhave takenhiswife to be yourwife, andhave killed himwith theswordofthepeopleofAmmon.10Nowtherefore,theswordshallneverdepartfrom your house, because you have despisedMe, and have taken thewife ofUriahtheHittitetobeyourwife.’11ThussaystheLORD:‘Behold,Iwillraiseupadversityagainstyou fromyourownhouse;and Iwill takeyourwivesbeforeyoureyesandgivethemtoyourneighbor,andheshallliewithyourwivesinthesightofthissun.12Foryoudiditsecretly,butIwilldothisthingbeforeallIsrael,before the sun.’ ” 13SoDavid said toNathan, “Ihave sinnedagainst theLORD.”AndNathansaidtoDavid,“TheLORDalsohasputawayyoursin;youshallnotdie.”

Goddidnot turn the counselofAhithophel into foolishnessbecauseHe couldnottake that gift of accuracy of prophecy from him; He only orchestrated a countercounsel through Hushai, the Archite so that the counsel of Ahithophel could berejected–2Samuel17:1-14.

“Moreover Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Now letme choose twelve thousandmen,andIwillariseandpursueDavidtonight.2Iwillcomeuponhimwhileheiswearyandweak,andmakehimafraid.Andall thepeoplewhoarewithhimwillflee,andIwillstrikeonlytheking.3ThenIwillbringbackallthepeopletoyou.Whenall returnexcept themanwhomyouseek,all thepeoplewillbeatpeace.” 4And the saying pleased Absalom and all the elders of Israel. 5ThenAbsalomsaid, “NowcallHushai theArchitealso,and letushearwhathesaystoo.” 6And when Hushai came to Absalom, Absalom spoke to him, saying,“Ahithophelhasspokeninthismanner.Shallwedoashesays?Ifnot,speakup.”7SoHushaisaidtoAbsalom:“TheadvicethatAhithophelhasgiven isnotgoodat this time. 8For,” saidHushai, “youknowyour fatherandhismen, that theyaremightymen,andtheyareenragedintheirminds,likeabearrobbedofhercubs in the field; andyour father is amanofwar, andwillnot campwith thepeople.9Surelybynowheishiddeninsomepit,orinsomeotherplace.Anditwillbe,whensomeof themareoverthrownat the first, thatwhoeverhears itwill say, ‘There is a slaughter among the people who follow Absalom.’ 10Andeven he who is valiant, whose heart is like the heart of a lion, will meltcompletely.ForallIsraelknowsthatyourfatherisamightyman,andthosewhoare with him are valiant men. 11Therefore I advise that all Israel be fullygathered to you, from Dan to Beersheba, like the sand that is by the sea formultitude,andthatyougo tobattle inperson. 12Sowewillcomeuponhim insomeplacewherehemaybefound,andwewillfallonhimasthedewfallsontheground.Andofhimandallthemenwhoarewithhimthereshallnotbeleftsomuchasone.13Moreover,ifhehaswithdrawnintoacity,thenallIsraelshallbringropestothatcity;andwewillpullitintotheriver,untilthereisnotonesmall stone found there.” 14So Absalom and all the men of Israel said, “The

ApartfromthecountercounselgivenbyHushan,GodalsousedhimtogetherwithawomaninBahurimtofrustrateAbsalomandAhithophel'splans–2Samuel17:15-21.

“ThenHushaisaidtoZadokandAbiatharthepriests, “ThusandsoAhithopheladvisedAbsalomandtheeldersofIsrael,andthusandsoIhaveadvised.16Nowtherefore, send quickly and tell David, saying, ‘Do not spend this night in theplainsofthewilderness,butspeedilycrossover,lestthekingandallthepeoplewhoarewithhimbeswallowedup.’”17NowJonathanandAhimaazstayedatEnRogel, for they dared not be seen coming into the city; so a female servantwould come and tell them, and they would go and tell King David.18Neverthelessaladsawthem,andtoldAbsalom.Butbothofthemwentawayquicklyandcametoaman’shouseinBahurim,whohadawellinhiscourt;andtheywentdownintoit.19Thenthewomantookandspreadacoveringoverthewell’s mouth, and spread ground grain on it; and the thing was not known.20And when Absalom’s servants came to the woman at the house, they said,“Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?” So thewoman said to them, “They havegone over thewater brook.” Andwhen they had searched and could not findthem, they returned to Jerusalem. 21Now it came to pass, after they haddeparted,thattheycameupoutofthewellandwentandtoldKingDavid,andsaidtoDavid,“Ariseandcrossoverthewaterquickly.ForthushasAhithopheladvisedagainstyou.””

However, it was the seed David sowed earlier in Bahurim, that produced theharvestthatsavedhislifelater–2Samuel16:5-13.

“NowwhenKingDavid came toBahurim, therewasaman from the familyofthehouseofSaul,whosenamewasShimeithesonofGera,comingfromthere.Hecameout,cursingcontinuouslyashecame. 6AndhethrewstonesatDavidandatalltheservantsofKingDavid.Andallthepeopleandallthemightymenwereonhisrighthandandonhis left. 7AlsoShimeisaidthuswhenhecursed:“Comeout!Comeout!Youbloodthirstyman,yourogue!8TheLORDhasbroughtuponyouall thebloodof thehouseofSaul, inwhoseplaceyouhave reigned;andtheLORDhasdeliveredthekingdomintothehandofAbsalomyourson.Sonow you are caught in your own evil, because you are a bloodthirsty man!”9ThenAbishai the sonofZeruiah said to theking, “Why should thisdeaddogcursemylordtheking?Please,letmegooverandtakeoffhishead!”10Butthekingsaid, “Whathave I todowithyou,yousonsofZeruiah?So lethimcurse,becausetheLORDhassaidtohim,‘CurseDavid.’Whothenshallsay,‘Whyhaveyoudoneso?’ ” 11AndDavidsaid toAbishaiandallhisservants, “Seehowmysonwhocamefrommyownbodyseeksmylife.HowmuchmorenowmaythisBenjamite?Lethimalone,and lethimcurse; forso theLORDhasorderedhim.12ItmaybethattheLORDwilllookonmyaffliction,andthattheLORDwillrepaymewithgoodforhiscursingthisday.”13AndasDavidandhismenwentalongthe road, Shimeiwent along the hillside opposite him and cursed as hewent,threwstonesathimandkickedupdust.”
