2 Samuel 17:7-10

7And HushaiH2365 saidH559 unto AbsalomH53, The counselH6098 that AhithophelH302 hath givenH3289 this time is notH3808 goodH2896.

8HushaiH2365 saidH559 moreover, Thou knowest thy fatherH1 and his menH376, that they be mightyH1368 menH376, and they be chafed in their minds, as a bearH1677 robbed of herH559 whelps in the fieldH7704: and thy fatherH1 is a manH376 of warH4421, and will notH3808 lodge with the peopleH5971.

9BeholdH2009, he is hidH2244 nowH6258 in someH259 pitH6354, or in someH259 otherH259 placeH4725: and it will comeH1961 to passH1961, when someH259 of them be fallenH5307 at the firstH259, that whosoever heareth it will sayH559, There is a slaughterH4046 among the peopleH5971 that followH310 AbsalomH53.

10And evenH1571 he that is valiantH2428, whoseH834 heartH3820 is as the heartH3820 of a lionH738, shall utterly meltH4549: for allH3605 IsraelH3478 knoweth that thy fatherH1 is a mightyH1368 manH1368, and they whichH834 be with him are valiantH2428 menH1368.
