2 Samuel 17:1-4

1Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Let me choose twelve thousand men, and I will set out in pursuit of David tonight.

2I will attack him while he is weary and discouraged, throw him into a panic, and all the people with him will scatter. I will strike down only the king

3and bring all the people back to you. When everyone returns except the man you’re looking for, all the people will be at peace.”

4This proposal seemed right to Absalom and all the elders of Israel.
