2 Samuel 17:6-9
6WhenH3512 HushaiH2365 had comeH935 to AbsalomH53, AbsalomH53 saidH559 to 1him, “AhithophelH302 has 2proposedH1696 thisH2088 planH1697. Should we 3carryH6213 outH6213 his planH1697? IfH518 not, sayH1696 so yourselfH859.”
7So HushaiH2365 saidH559 to AbsalomH53, “4ThisH2088 timeH6471 the adviceH6098 that AhithophelH302 has 5givenH3289 is not goodH2896.”
8Then HushaiH2365 saidH559, “You yourselfH859 knowH3045 your fatherH1 and his menH376, that they are warriorsH1368 and they are 6fierceH4751H5315, 7like a bearH1677 deprivedH7909 ofH7909 her cubsH7909 in the fieldH7704. And your fatherH1 is an 8expertH376 in warfareH4421, and he will not spendH3885 theH3885 nightH3885 with the peopleH5971.
9BeholdH2009, he has nowH6258 hiddenH2244 himselfH1931 in oneH259 of the ravinesH6354, orH176 in anotherH259 placeH4725; and it will be that when he fallsH5307 on them at the firstH8462 attack, whoever hearsH8085 it will sayH559, ‘There has beenH1961 a slaughterH4046 among the peopleH5971 whoH834 followH310 AbsalomH53!’
