2 Samuel 17:6-9

6And when HushaiH2365 was comeH935 to AbsalomH53, AbsalomH53 spakeH559 unto him, sayingH559, AhithophelH302 hath spokenH1696 after this mannerH1697: shall we doH6213 after his sayingH1697? if not; speakH1696 thou.1

7And HushaiH2365 saidH559 unto AbsalomH53, The counselH6098 that AhithophelH302 hath givenH3289 is not goodH2896 at this timeH6471.2

8For, saidH559 HushaiH2365, thou knowestH3045 thy fatherH1 and his menH582, that they be mighty menH1368, and they be chafedH4751 in their mindsH5315, as a bearH1677 robbedH7909 of her whelps in the fieldH7704: and thy fatherH1 is a manH376 of warH4421, and will not lodgeH3885 with the peopleH5971.3

9Behold, he is hidH2244 now in someH259 pitH6354, or in someH259 other placeH4725: and it will come to pass, when some of them be overthrownH5307 at the firstH8462, that whosoeverH8085 hearethH8085 it will sayH559, There is a slaughterH4046 among the peopleH5971 that followH310 AbsalomH53.4
