2 Samuel 17:3-5

Good News Translation

³ and then bring back all his men to you, like a bride returning to her husband. You want to kill only one man;^[a] the rest of the people will be safe.” ⁴ This seemed like good advice to Absalom and all the Israelite leaders.

⁵ Absalom said, “Now call Hushai, and let us hear what he has to say.”
