2 Samuel 17:6-9

6And when HushaiH2365 was comeH935 to AbsalomH53, AbsalomH53 spake unto him, sayingH559, AhithophelH302 hath spokenH1696 after this mannerH1697: shall we do after his sayingH559? if not, speakH1696 thou. 7And HushaiH2365 saidH559 unto AbsalomH53, The counselH6098 that AhithophelH302 hath given this timeH6471 is not goodH2896. 8HushaiH2365 saidH559 moreover, Thou knowest thy fatherH1 and his menH376, that they are mightyH1368 menH376, and they are chafed in their minds, as a bearH1677 robbed of her whelps in the fieldH7704; and thy fatherH1 is a manH376 of warH4421, and will not lodge with the peopleH5971. 9Behold, he is hidH2244 nowH6258 in some pitH6354, or in some other placeH4725: and it will come to pass, when some of them are fallenH5307 at the first, that whosoever heareth it will sayH559, There is a slaughterH4046 among the peopleH5971 that follow AbsalomH53.
