New Living Translation
2 Samuel 17:1-4
1Now Ahithophel urged Absalom, “Let me choose 12,000 men to start out after David tonight.
2I will catch up with him while he is weary and discouraged. He and his troops will panic, and everyone will run away. Then I will kill only the king,
3and I will bring all the people back to you as a bride returns to her husband. After all, it is only one man’s life that you seek. Then you will be at peace with all the people.”
4This plan seemed good to Absalom and to all the elders of Israel.
