2 Samuel 17:14-16
Holman Christian Standard Bible
14 Since the Lord had decreed(A) that Ahithophel’s good advice be undermined(B) in order to bring about Absalom’s ruin, Absalom and all the men of Israel said, “The advice of Hushai the Archite is better than Ahithophel’s advice.”
David Informed of Absalom’s Plans
15 Hushai then told the priests Zadok and Abiathar, “This is what[a] Ahithophel advised Absalom and the elders of Israel, and this is what[b] I advised. 16 Now send someone quickly and tell David, ‘Don’t spend the night at the wilderness ford of the Jordan,(C) but be sure to cross over, or the king and all the people with him will be destroyed.’”
