2 Samuel 17:6-8

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁶ So Hushai came to Absalom, and Absalom said to him, “This is what Ahithophel has said. Shall we do it? If you disagree, speak up.”

⁷ Hushai said to Absalom, “This time the advice Ahithophel has given is not good.” ⁸ Hushai continued, “You know your father and his men. They are fierce warriors, like an enraged bear in the open country who has lost her cubs. Your father is a fighter. He will not spend the night with the people.
