2 Samuel 17:5 BBE

³  And I will make all the people come back to you as a bride comes back to her husband: it is the life of only one man you are going after; so all the people will be at peace.

⁴  And the saying was pleasing to Absalom and to the responsible men of Israel.

⁵  Then Absalom said, Now send for Hushai the Archite, and let us give ear to what he has to say.

⁶  And when Hushai came, Absalom said to him, This is what Ahithophel has said: are we to do as he says? if not, what is your suggestion?

⁷  And Hushai said to Absalom, Ahithophel's idea is not a good one at this time.
