2 Samuel 17:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 So when Hushai came to Absalom, Absalom spake unto him, saying, Ahithophel hath [a]spoken thus: shall we do after his saying, or no? tell thou.
7 Hushai then answered unto Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel hath given, is not [b]good at this time.
8 For, said Hushai, thou knowest thy father, and his men, that they be strong men, and are chafed in mind as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field: also thy father is a valiant warrior, and will not [c]lodge with the people.
