2 Samuel 17 1-2 Samuel 17 14
Ahithophel said to Absalom,“ Let me choose twelve thousand men, and I will set out in pursuit of David tonight.I will attack him while he is weary and discouraged, throw him into a panic, and all the people with him will scatter. I will strike down only the kingand bring all the people back to you. When everyone returns except the man you’re looking for, all the people will be at peace.”This proposal seemed right to Absalom and all the elders of Israel.Then Absalom said,“ Summon Hushai the Archite also. Let’s hear what he has to say as well.”So Hushai came to Absalom, and Absalom told him,“ Ahithophel offered this proposal. Should we carry out his proposal? If not, what do you say?”Hushai replied to Absalom,“ The advice Ahithophel has given this time is not good.”Hushai continued,“ You know your father and his men. They are warriors and are desperate like a wild bear robbed of her cubs. Your father is an experienced soldier who won’t spend the night with the people.He’s probably already hiding in one of the caves or some other place. If some of our troops fall first, someone is sure to hear and say,‘ There’s been a slaughter among the people who follow Absalom.’Then, even a brave man with the heart of a lion will lose heart because all Israel knows that your father and the valiant men with him are warriors.Instead, I advise that all Israel from Dan to Beer-sheba— as numerous as the sand by the sea— be gathered to you and that you personally go into battle.Then we will attack David wherever we find him, and we will descend on him like dew on the ground. Not even one will be left— neither he nor any of the men with him.If he retreats to some city, all Israel will bring ropes to that city, and we will drag its stones into the valley until not even a pebble can be found there.”Since the LORD had decreed that Ahithophel’s good advice be undermined in order to bring about Absalom’s ruin, Absalom and all the men of Israel said,“ The advice of Hushai the Archite is better than Ahithophel’s advice.”
