2 Samuel 17:1-4

1And AhithophelH302 saidH559 to AbsalomH53, Let me, I pray, chooseH977 out twelve thousandH505 menH376, and I will ariseH6965 and pursueH7291 after DavidH1732 to-night;

2and I will comeH935 upon him while he is wearyH3023 and weak-handed, and will make him afraid; and all the peopleH5971 that are with him shall fleeH5127; and I will smite the kingH4428 onlyH905;

3and I will bringH7725 backH7725 all the peopleH5971 to thee. The manH376 whom thou seekest is as if all returnedH7725: all the peopleH5971 shall beH1961 in peaceH7965.

4And the saying was right in the eyesH5869 of AbsalomH53, and in the eyesH5869 of all the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478.
