Leeser(i)
20 Then said Abshalom to Achithophel, Hold counsel among yourselves as to what we shall do.
21 And Achithophel said unto Abshalom, Go in unto thy father’s concubines, whom he hath left to guard the house; and all Israel will hear that thou art in bad odor with thy father: and then will the hands of all that are with thee become strong.
22 So they spread for Abshalom a tent upon the roof; and Abshalom went in unto his father’s concubines before the eyes of all Israel.
23 And the counsel of Achithophel, which he counseled in those days, was as if a man had asked advice of the word of God: so was all the counsel of Achithophel both with David and with Abshalom.
17 1 Moreover Achithophel said unto Abshalom, Do let me now select twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night;
2 And I will come upon him while he is weary and weak-handed, and will terrify him; so that all the people that are with him will flee; and I will smite the king alone;
3 And I will bring back all the people unto thee: when all return except the man whom thou seekest, all the people will be in peace.
4 And the thing was pleasing in the eyes of Abshalom, and in the eyes of all the elders of Israel.
