2 Samuel 17:1-4

Webster(i) 1 Moreover Ahithophel said to Absalom, Let me now choose out 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 make him afraid: and all the people that are with him shall flee; and I will smite the king only: 3 And I will bring back all the people to thee: the man whom thou seekest is as if all returned: so all the people shall be in peace. 4 And the saying, pleased Absalom well, and all the elders of Israel.
