2 Samuel 17:7 WBT

⁵  Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear likewise what he saith.

⁶  And when Hushai had come to Absalom, Absalom spoke to him, saying, Ahithophel hath spoken after this manner: shall we do [after] his saying? if not, speak thou.

⁷  And Hushai said to 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.

⁹  Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or in some [other] place: and it will come to pass, when some of them [are] overthrown at the first, that whosoever heareth it will say, There is a slaughter among the people that follow Absalom.
