okay good morning everybody um i also wanted to record this sorry on my phone just in case okay so we're up to chapter 18 pedigreed um to refresh our memories we saw at the end of last chapter that there was a tug of war between achitophel and shalom's two advisers about what to do with david suggested not giving david time to suggested not giving david time to recruit his army and establish himself and to attack him while he was weak um being david's mole on the inside um delayed shalom told him no you've got to get more people he flattered him and as a result of shalom took the advice of flushai he's in the process of amassing his army but it's clear to achieve that this was a big mistake and that of shalom's rebellion is going to fall he we saw killed himself as a result of that killed himself as a result of that and basically we're now at the point where we're gearing up for an epic battle between david's camp and have shalom's camp another unfortunate incident of civil war and that's been a recurring theme amongst the jewish people time and again fighting amongst each other we saw it in sephiroth with the story we saw it at the beginning of shimmer albert with avanid and fighting each other we've seen it in countless other examples of in shofting
