2 Samuel 17:1-3 ▼

1 Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Let me choose twelve thousand men, and I will set out in pursuit of David tonight.

2 I will attack him while he is weary and discouraged, throw him into a panic, and all the people with him will scatter. I will strike down only the king

3 and bring all the people back to you. When everyone returns except the man you’re looking for, all the people will be at peace.”
