@ Moreover
Ahithophel
said
unto
Absalom
, Let me now choose
out
twelve
sh@
thousand
men
, and I will
arise
and
pursue
after
David
this
night
:
strkjv@2Samuel:17:2
@ And I will
come
upon him while he is
weary
and
weak
handed
, and will make him
afraid
: and all the
people
that are with him shall
flee
; and I will
smite
the
king
only:
strkjv@2Samuel:17:3
@ And I will bring
back
all the
people
unto thee: the
man
whom thou
seekest
is as if all
returned
: so all the
people
shall be in
peace
.
strkjv@2Samuel:17:4
@ And the
saying
pleased
Absalom
well
, and all the
elders
of
Israel
.
strkjv@2Samuel:17:5
@ Then
said
Absalom
,
Call
now
Hushai
the
Archite
also, and let us
hear
likewise what he
saith
.
strkjv@2Samuel:17:6
@ And when
Hushai
was
come
to
Absalom
,
Absalom
spake
unto him,
saying
,
Ahithophel
hath
spoken
after this
manner
: shall we
do
after his
saying
? if not;
speak
thou.
strkjv@2Samuel:17:7
@ And
Hushai
said
unto
Absalom
, The
counsel
that
Ahithophel
hath
given
is not
good
at this
time
.
strkjv@2Samuel:17:8
@ For,
said
Hushai
, thou
knowest
thy
father
and his
men
, that they be mighty
men
, and they be
chafed
in their
minds
, as a
bear
robbed
of her whelps in the
field
: and thy
father
is a
man
of
war
, and will not
lodge
with the
people
.
strkjv@2Samuel:17:9
@ Behold, he is
hid
now in
some
pit
, or in
some
other
place
: and it will come to pass, when some of them be
overthrown
at the
first
, that
whosoever
heareth
it will
say
, There is a
slaughter
among the
people
that
follow
Absalom
.
strkjv@2Samuel:17:10
@ And he also that is
valiant
, whose
heart
is as the
heart
of a
lion
, shall
utterly
melt
: for all
Israel
knoweth
that thy
father
is a mighty
man
, and they which be with him are
valiant
men
.
strkjv@2Samuel:17:11
@ Therefore I
counsel
that all
Israel
be
generally
gathered
unto thee, from
Dan
even to
Beersheba
B@er, as the
sand
that is by the
sea
for
multitude
; and that thou
go
to
battle
in thine own
person
.
strkjv@2Samuel:17:12
@ So shall we
come
upon him in
some
place
where he shall be
found
, and we will
light
upon him as the
dew
falleth
on the
ground
: and of him and of all the
men
that are with him there shall not be
left
so much
as
one
.
strkjv@2Samuel:17:13
@ Moreover,
if
he be
gotten
into a
city
, then shall all
Israel
bring
ropes
to that
city
, and we will
draw
it into the
river
, until there be not
one
small
stone
found
there.
strkjv@2Samuel:17:14
@ And
Absalom
and all the
men
of
Israel
said
, The
counsel
of
Hushai
the
Archite
is
better
than the
counsel
of
Ahithophel
. For the
LORD
had
appointed
to
defeat
the
good
counsel
of
Ahithophel
, to the
intent
that the
LORD
might
bring
evil
upon
Absalom
.
