2 Samuel 17:12-14
English Standard Version Anglicised
12 So we shall come upon him in some place where he is to be found, and we shall light upon him as the dew falls on the ground, and of him and all the men with him not one will be left. 13 If he withdraws into a city, then all Israel will bring ropes to that city, and we shall drag it into the valley, until not even a pebble is to be found there.” 14 And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, “The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel.” (A)For the Lord had ordained[a] to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, so that the Lord might bring harm upon Absalom.
