2 Samuel 17:1-5

1. 1 Moreover Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night:

2. 2 And I will come upon him while he is weary and weak handed, and will make him afraid: and all the people that are with him shall flee; and I will smite the king only:

3. 3 And I will bring back all the people unto thee: the man whom thou seekest is as if all returned: so all the people shall be in peace.

4. 4 And the saying pleased Absalom well, and all the elders of Israel.

5. 5 Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear likewise what he saith.
