1 And Ahithophel will say to Absalom, I will now choose twelve thousand men, and I will rise and pursue after David this night: 2 And I shall come upon him and he being weary and relaxed in hands, and I made him afraid: and all the people which are with him, fleeing; and I struck the king alone, 3 And I will turn back all the people to thee: as the turning back of all, the man whom thou seekest; and to all the people shall be peace. 4 And the word will be straight in the eyes of Absalom and in the eyes of all the old men of Israel. 5 And Absalom will say, Call now also for Hushai the Archite, and we will hear also, what is in his mouth. 6 And Hushai will come to Absalom, and Absalom will say to him, saying, According to this word spake Ahithophel: shall we do his word? if not, speak thou. 7 And Hushai will say to Absalom, The counsel which Ahithophel counseled is not good in this time. 2 Samuel 17:1-7, Smith's Literal Translation.
