2 Samuel 17:6-8

21st Century King James Version

⁶ And when Hushai had come to Absalom, Absalom spoke unto him, saying, “Ahithophel hath spoken in this manner. Shall we do according to his word? If not, speak thou.”

⁷ And Hushai said unto Absalom, “The counsel that Ahithophel hath given is not good at this time.

⁸ For,” said Hushai, “thou knowest thy father and his men, that they are mighty men, and they are chafed in their minds, 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.
