2 Samuel 17:7-14

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. 10And even he that is valiant, whose heartH3820 is as the heartH3820 of a lionH738, will utterly meltH4549; for all IsraelH3478 knoweth that thy fatherH1 is a mightyH1368 manH1368, and they that are with him are valiant menH1368. 11But I counselH3289 that all IsraelH3478 be gatheredH622 together unto thee, from DanH1835 even to Beer-sheba, as the sandH2344 that is by the seaH3220 for multitudeH7230; and that thou goH1980 to battleH7128 in thine own person. 12So shall we comeH935 upon him in some placeH4725 whereH834 he shall be foundH4672, and we will light upon him as the dewH2919 falleth on the groundH127; and of him and of all the menH376 that are with him we will not leaveH5117 so much as oneH259. 13Moreover, if he be gotten into a cityH5892, then shall all IsraelH3478 bring ropesH2256 to that cityH5892, and we will draw it into the river, until there be not one small stone foundH4672 there. 14And AbsalomH53 and all the menH376 of IsraelH3478 saidH559, The counselH6098 of HushaiH2365 the Archite is betterH2896 than the counselH6098 of AhithophelH302. For Jehovah had ordained to defeat the goodH2896 counselH6098 of AhithophelH302, to the intent that Jehovah might bringH935 evilH7451 upon AbsalomH53.
