2 Samuel 17:13-14

13If he escapes into a city, we can completely destroy the city. Our soldiers will use ropes to pull it all down into the valley!’

14Absalom and all Israel's leaders said, ‘Hushai's idea is better than Ahithophel's idea.’ This happened because the Lord did not let the people accept Ahithophel's advice. His idea was a good one, but the Lord had decided to cause trouble for Absalom.
