2 Samuel 17:6-8

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁶ And when Hushai came to Absalom, Absalom spoke unto him, saying, Thus spoke Ahithophel; shall we follow his word or not? Speak thou.

⁷ Then Hushai said unto Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel has given this time is not good.

⁸ For, said Hushai, thou knowest thy father and his men, that they are mighty men, and now their souls are bitter, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field. And thy father is a man of war and will not lodge with the people.
