2 Samuel 17:1-4 And Ahithophel said to Absalom, Let me now choose out for myself twelve thousand men, and I will arise and follow after David this night.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Ahithophel said to Absalom, Let me now choose out for myself twelve thousand men, and I will arise and follow after David this night. ² And I will come upon him when he is weary and weak-handed, and I will strike him with terror; and all the people with him shall flee, and I will smite the king alone. ³ And I will bring back all the people to you, as a bride returns to her husband: only you seek the life of one man, and all the people shall have peace. ⁴ And the saying was right in the eyes of Absalom, and in the eyes of all the elders of Israel.
