2 Samuel 17:4 In-Context

2 And I will come upon him while he is weary and weak handed, and will make him afraid : and all the people that are with him shall flee ; and I will smite the king only:
3 And I will bring back all the people unto thee: the man whom thou seekest is as if all returned : so all the people shall be in peace.
4 And the saying pleased Absalom well, and all the elders of Israel.
5 Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear likewise what he saith.
6 And when Hushai was come to Absalom, Absalom spake unto him, saying , Ahithophel hath spoken after this manner: shall we do after his saying? if not; speak thou.
