Hushai’s Counsel
17 Furthermore, Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Please let me choose 12,000 men that I may arise and pursue David tonight. 2 (A)I will come upon him while he is weary and [a]exhausted and terrify him, so that all the people who are with him will flee. Then (B)I will strike down the king alone, 3 and I will bring back all the people to you. [b]The return of everyone depends on the man you seek; then all the people will be at (C)peace.”
