*
Hushai said moreover , "
You know that your father and his men are mighty men ,
and that they are enraged ,
like a bear robbed of her cubs in the field .
Besides ,
your father is expert in war ;
he will not spend the night with the people .
*
Behold ,
even now he has hidden himself in one of the pits ,
or in some other place .
And when some of the people fall at the first attack ,
whoever hears it will say , `
There has been a slaughter among the people who follow Ab '
salom .'
*
Then even the valiant man ,
whose heart is like the heart of a lion ,
will utterly melt with fear ;
for all Israel knows that your father is a mighty man ,
and that those who are with him are valiant men .
