2 Samuel 17:3-5

Living Bible

^2-3 I will come upon him while he is weary and discouraged, and he and his troops will be thrown into a panic and everyone will run away; and I will kill only the king and let all those who are with him live, and restore them to you.”

⁴ Absalom and all the elders of Israel approved of the plan, ⁵ but Absalom said, “Ask Hushai the Archite what he thinks about this.”
