Shmuel Bais 17:13-15
Orthodox Jewish Bible
13 Moreover, if he has withdrawn into a city, then shall kol Yisroel bring chavalim (ropes) to that city, and we will draw it into the ravine, until there be not one small stone found there.
14 And Avshalom and kol Ish Yisroel said, The etza (counsel) of Chushai the Arki is better than the etza of Achitophel. For Hashem had resolved to annul the etza of Achitophel, to the intent that Hashem might bring ra’ah upon Avshalom.
15 Then said Chushai unto Tzadok and to Evyatar (Abiathar) the kohanim, Thus and thus did Achitophel counsel Avshalom and the Ziknei Yisroel; and thus and thus have I counselled.

13 If he withdraws into a city, then all Israel will bring ropes to that city, and we will drag it down to the valley(A) until not so much as a pebble is left.”
14 Absalom and all the men of Israel said, “The advice(B) of Hushai the Arkite is better than that of Ahithophel.”(C) For the Lord had determined to frustrate(D) the good advice of Ahithophel in order to bring disaster(E) on Absalom.(F)
15 Hushai told Zadok and Abiathar, the priests, “Ahithophel has advised Absalom and the elders of Israel to do such and such, but I have advised them to do so and so.
