2 Samuel 17:1-4
Hushai Saves David
1 Moreover, Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Let me choose twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue David tonight. 2 I will come upon him while he is a weary and discouraged and throw him into a panic, and all the people who are with him will flee. b I will strike down only the king, 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, ▼
▼
Septuagint; Hebrew back to you. Like the return of the whole is the man whom you seek
and all the people will be at peace.” 4 And the advice seemed right in the eyes of Absalom and all the elders of Israel.
