2 Samuel 16:21-23

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²¹ And Achitophel said to Absalom: Go in to the concubines of thy father, whom he hath left to keep the house: that when all Israel shall hear that thou hast disgraced thy father, their hands may be strengthened with thee.

²² So they spread a tent for Absalom on the top of the house, and he went in to his father's concubines before all Israel.

²³ Now the counsel of Achitophel, which he gave in those days, was as if a man should consult God: so was all the counsel of Achitophel, both when he was with David, and when he was with Absalom.
