Absalom's only likely competitor as successor to David was Amnon, who had died at Absalom's hand after the rape of Tamar. So Absalom served David faithfully for forty years, then decided to launch a coup against his father when David was near the end of his life (2 Samuel 15:7). There is no explanation for the heir to the kingdom to plan for so long and then launch a civil war when David was near the end of his reign and Absalom's inheritance would come soon anyway.
Absalom's attempted coup is followed with another uprising under a man called Sheba (2 Samuel chapter 20), then the remainder of 2 Samuel has a group of miscellaneous chapters out of context, clearly later insertions. These chapters include a famine, killing of giants, a psalm (Psalm 18), the purported last words of David and then a census undertaken by David. Removing chapters 21 to 24 leaves a coherent story line, from Absalom's attempted coup to Sheba's uprising, proof of David's senility, and another attempted coup by Adonijah, forestalled by the anointment of the younger son, Solomon, as king.
In the Deuteronomic History, the literary outcome of those coups was to explain the choice of Solomon as the successor to King David. However, the Book of Chronicles tells an entirely different and more peaceful story of the succession, omitting the attempted coups and the Sheba uprising. While still in apparent good health and not yet bed-ridden, David announced to the people of Israel that God had chosen Solomon to be his heir. This public declaration would have had the effect of preempting any attempt to overthrow David.
It was king Davids son. Solomon the future king, who conspired against David.
Answer:David's rebellious son was Absalom.2 Samuel 15:13, 14 - Now a messenger came to David, saying, "The hearts of the men of Israel are with Absalom." So David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, "Arise, and let us flee; or we shall not escape from Absalom. Make haste to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly and bring disaster upon us, and strike the city with the edge of the sword."[NKJV]
Because king Saul was jealous and wanted to kill him.
Abner did not kill Absalom. Joab, the commander of David's army did (II Samuel 18:14-15). Before David died Joab joined himself with Adonijah as Adonijah wanted to be king when David died. Adonijah was put to death by Solomon and shortly after that Solomon had Joab put to death. King Solomon was David's youngest son.
David won Michal's hand in marriage when he fulfilled King Saul's challenge to kill 100 Philistines all by himself. Michal was King Saul's daughter. King Saul hated David because he was jealous of him and was hoping that David would be killed trying to fulfill the King's request. David killed twice the number of Philistines required of the King and so Michal was given to David to be his wife. Ref: (I Samuel 18:26-30).

He tried to become the next King to succeed King David simply by claiming he was the heir to the throne. When King David heard that Adoniyahu had proclaimed himself the king, King David quickly had Solomon officially annointed as King.
