2 Samuel 17:1-3

NSB(i) 1 Later Ahithophel said to Absalom: »Let me choose twelve thousand men. Tonight I will set out after David. 2 »I will attack him while he is tired and discouraged. He will be frightened! All his men will run away. I will kill only the king. 3 »Then I will bring back all his men to you. It will be like a bride returning to her husband. Kill one man and the rest of the people return safely.«
