2 Samuel 17:7-10

7And HushaiH2365 saidH559 to AbsalomH53, The counselH6098 that AhithophelH302 hath givenH3289 is not goodH2896 at this timeH6471.1

8For, saidH559 HushaiH2365, thou knowestH3045 thy fatherH1 and his menH582, that they are mighty menH1368, and they are 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 peopleH5971.2

9Behold, he is hidH2244 now in someH259 pitH6354, or in someH259 other placeH4725: and it will come to pass, when some of them are overthrownH5307 at the firstH8462, that whoeverH8085 hearethH8085 it will sayH559, There is a slaughterH4046 among the peopleH5971 that followH310 AbsalomH53.3

10And he also that is valiantH1121H2428, whose heartH3820 is as the heartH3820 of a lionH738, shall utterlyH4549 meltH4549: for all IsraelH3478 knowethH3045 that thy fatherH1 is a mighty manH1368, and they who are with him are valiantH2428 menH1121.
