1 MOREOVER Ahithophel said to Absalom, Let me now choose twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue David this night; 2 And I will overtake him while he is weary and weak, and I will throw him into a panic, and all the people who are with him shall flee, and I will kill the king only; 3 And I will bring back all the people to you, just as those whom you sought have come back; so all the people shall be in peace. 4 And the saying pleased Absalom well, and all the elders of Israel. 5 Then Absalom said, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let us likewise hear what he has to say. 6 And when Hushai came to Absalom, Absalom said to him, Ahithophel has spoken after this manner; shall we do what he has said? If not, you speak. 7 And Hushai said to Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel has given is not good at this time. 2 Samuel 17:1-7, Lamsa Bible. Public domain.
