New International Version
2 Samuel 17:1-4
1Ahithophel said to Absalom, “I would choose twelve thousand men and set out tonight in pursuit of David.
2I would attack him while he is weary and weak. I would strike him with terror, and then all the people with him will flee. I would strike down only the king
3and bring all the people back to you. The death of the man you seek will mean the return of all; all the people will be unharmed.”
4This plan seemed good to Absalom and to all the elders of Israel.
