Ahithophel's counsel is overthrown by Hushsai's, according to God's appointment.1 ¶ Moreover Ahithophelº saidºª unto² Absalom,º Let me now² choose outºª twelveºº thousandº men,º and I will ariseºª and pursueºª afterº Davidº this night:º 2 And I will comeºª upon² him while he² [is] wearyº and weakº handed,º and will make him afraid:ºª² and all² the peopleº that² [are] with² him shall flee;ºª and I will smiteºª² the kingº only:² 3 And I will bring backºª all² the peopleº unto² thee: the manº whom² thou² seekestºª [is] as if all² returned:ºª [so] all² the peopleº shall be² in peace.º 4 And the sayingº pleasedºª Absalomº well,º and all² the eldersº of Israel.º 5 Then saidºª Absalom,º Callºª now² Hushaiº the Architeº also,² and let us hearºª likewise² what² he² saith.º 6 And when Hushaiº was comeºª to² Absalom,º Absalomº spakeºª unto² him, saying,ºª Ahithophelº hath spokenºª after this² manner:º shall we doºª [after]² his saying?º if² not;² speakºª thou.² 7 And Hushaiº saidºª unto² Absalom,º The counselº that² Ahithophelº hath givenºª [is] not² goodº at this² time.º 8 For, saidºª Hushai,º thou² knowestºª² thy fatherº and his men,¹² that² they² [be] mighty men,º and they² [be] chafedº in their minds,º as a bearº robbed¹ of her whelps² in the field:º and thy fatherº [is] a manº of war,º and will not² lodgeºª with² the people.º 9 Behold,² he² is hidºª now² in someº pit,º or² in someº [other] place:º and it will come to pass,² when some of them be overthrownºª at the first,º that whosoever¹ª hearethºª it will say,ºª There is² a slaughterº among the peopleº that² followº Absalom.º 10 And he² also² [that is] valiant,ºº whose² heartº [is] as the heartº of a lion,º shall utterly¹ª melt:ºª for² all² Israelº knowethºª that² thy fatherº [is] a mighty man,º and [they] which² [be] with² him [are] valiantº men.º 11 Therefore² I counselºª that all² Israelº be generallyºª gatheredºª unto² thee, from Danº² even to² Beersheba,º as the sandº that² [is] by² the seaº for multitude;º and that thou goºª to battleº in thine own person.º 12 So shall we comeºª upon² him in someº placeº where²² he shall be found,ºª and we will light¹² upon² him as² the dewº fallethºª on² the ground:º and of him and of all² the men¹² that² [are] with² him there shall not² be leftºª so much² as¹ one.º 13 Moreover, ifº he be gottenºª into² a city,º then shall all² Israelº bringºª ropesº to² that² city,º and we will drawºª it into² the river,º until²² there be not² one¹ small² stoneº foundºª there.² 14 And Absalomº and all² the menº of Israelº said,ºª The counselº of Hushaiº the Architeº [is] betterº than the counselº² of Ahithophel.º For the LORDº had appointedºª to defeatºª² the goodº counselº of Ahithophel,º to the intentº that the LORDº might bringºª evilº upon² Absalom.º [1] Ps 3:3; 4:8; 109:2; Pv 1:16; 4:16; Is 59:7.
