1 Then Ahithophel said to Absalom: 'I will choose for myself twelve thousand men, and rising up, I will pursue David this night.
2 And rushing against him, for he is weary and has weakened hands, I will strike him. And when all the people who are with him will have fled, I will strike down the king in isolation.
3 And I will lead back the entire people, returning in the manner of one man. For you are seeking only one man. And all the people shall be in peace.'
4 And this word pleased Absalom and all those greater by birth of Israel.
