What does the Bible say about Absalom and his actions?

Answered in 1 source

Absalom's actions symbolize rebellion against God's sovereignty and a spirit of Antichrist.

In 2 Samuel, Absalom's character emerges as a complex figure characterized by ambition and deceit. He embodies the spirit of Antichrist, opposing God's appointed king, David, and seeking to usurp his throne. By pretending to bring justice to Tamar, Absalom masks his true intentions, which are self-serving and contrary to divine justice. This portrayal serves as a warning against false representations of justice that can lead people away from the sovereignty of Christ, as even our desires can be twisted to elevate self-interest over God's authority.
