Turning Absalom’s Rebellion Into A Biblical Epic: Part 1 - Ep. 25

In this episode, we begin our series on adapting stories from the Bible by laying the groundwork for one of its most dramatic and tragic accounts: Prince Absalom’s rebellion against his father, the legendary King David.

Before tackling the story itself, we break down its major characters - where they stand, what they believe, and what might be driving them beneath the surface. From David’s guilt and Absalom’s rage to Tamar’s despair and Joab’s frustration, we explore each figure’s personality, worldview, and motivations... And how their choices help forge the tragedy that unfolds.
