1 Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Let me choose 12,000 men, and I will set out in pursuit of David tonight.

2 I will attack him while he is weak and weary, 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 seeking, all the people will be at peace.”

4 This proposal seemed good to Absalom and all the elders of Israel.
