2 Samuel 16:19-21

Amplified Bible

¹⁹ Besides, whom should I serve? Should I not serve in the presence of David’s son? As I have served in your father’s presence, so I shall serve in your presence.”

²⁰ Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, “Give me your advice. What should we do?” ²¹ Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Go in to your father’s ^[a]concubines, whom he has left behind to take care of the house; then all Israel will hear that you have made yourself odious to your father. Then the hands of all who are with you will be strengthened [by your boldness and audacity].”
