20 And Absalom said to Ahithophel, Give your counsel, what we shall do.
21 And Ahithophel said to Absalom, Go in to your father's concubines, those he left to keep the house. And all Israel shall hear that you have become odious with your father. And the hands of all who are with you will be strong.
22 And they spread out a tent for Absalom on the roof. And Absalom went to his father's concubines before the eyes of all Israel.
23 And the counsel of Ahithophel which he counseled in those days was as one who had inquired at the word of God. So was all the counsel of Ahithophel, both to David and to Absalom.
17 1 And Ahithophel said to Absalom, Please let me choose twelve thousand men, and I shall rise up and pursue David tonight.
2 And I shall come on him, and he shall be weary and feeble handed. And I will make him tremble, and the people with him shall flee. And I shall strike the king by himself.
3 And I shall bring all the people back to you when all return, except the man whom you are seeking. All the people shall be in peace.
4 And the thing was pleasing in Absalom's eyes, and in the eyes of all the elders of Israel.
