Rotherham(i)
20 Then said Absolom unto Ahithophel,––Give ye your counsel, what we shall do.
21 And Ahithophel said unto Absolom, Go in unto thy father’s concubines, whom he hath left to keep the house,––so shall all Israel hear that thou hast made thyself odious unto thy father, and the hands of all that are with thee, shall be strengthened.
22 And they stretched out for Absolom a tent, upon the house–top,––and Absolom went in unto his father’s concubines, in the sight of all Israel.
23 Now, the counsel of Ahithophel which he counselled in those days, was as if a man had enquired at the oracle of God,––so, was all the counsel of Ahithophel, both to David, and also to Absolom.
