rsv 2Samuel:17:1-4
rsv@2Samuel:17:1 @ Moreover Ahith'ophel said to Ab'salom, "Let me choose twelve thousand men, and I will set out and pursue David tonight.
rsv@2Samuel:17:2 @ I will come upon him while he is weary and discouraged, and throw him into a panic; and all the people who are with him will flee. I will strike down the king only,
rsv@2Samuel:17:3 @ and I will bring all the people back to you as a bride comes home to her husband. You seek the life of only one man, and all the people will be at peace."
rsv@2Samuel:17:4 @ And the advice pleased Ab'salom and all the elders of Israel.
