MKJV(i)
20 And Absalom said to Ahithophel, Give your advice. What shall we do?
21 And Ahithophel said to Absalom, Go in to your father's concubines, that he left to keep the house. And all Israel shall hear that you are abhorred by your father. And the hands of all who are with you will be strong.
22 And they spread Absalom a tent on the top of the house, and Absalom went in to his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel.
23 And the advice of Ahithophel, which he advised in those days, was as if a man had inquired at the oracle of God. So was all the advice of Ahithophel, both with David and with Absalom.
17 1 And Ahithophel said to Absalom, Please let me choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David tonight.
2 And I will come upon him while he is weary and weak-handed, and I will make him tremble. And all the people with him will flee. And I will strike the king by himself.
3 And I will bring back all the people to you, when all return, except the man whom you are seeking. All the people shall be in peace.
4 And the saying pleased Absalom very much, and all the elders of Israel.
