2 Samuel 16:21-23

Evangelical Heritage Version

²¹ Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Go to your father’s concubines, whom he has left to watch over the palace. Let all Israel hear that you have become disgusting to your father, so that the hands of all who are with you may be strengthened.”

²² So they pitched a tent on the roof for Absalom, and Absalom went to^[a] his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.

²³ In those days the advice that Ahithophel gave was viewed as if it had come from God. All the advice of Ahithophel was viewed that way, both by David and also by Absalom.
