Then all the people will be at peace. 4 This plan seemed good in the eyes of Absalom and all the elders of Israel. 5 Then Absalom said, 'Summon Hushai the Archite as well, so we may hear what he has to say.' 6 When Hushai came to Absalom, Absalom said to him, 'This is what Ahithophel has advised. Should we follow his advice? If not, speak up.' 7 Hushai said to Absalom, 'The advice Ahithophel has given this time is not good.' 8 Hushai continued, 'You know your father and his men; they are mighty warriors and bitter in spirit, like a bear robbed of her cubs in the field. Your father is an experienced fighter, and he will not spend the night with the troops.' 9 'Even now, he is hiding in one of the caves or some other place. If he attacks first, anyone who hears about it will say, "There has been a slaughter among the people who follow Absalom."' 10 'Then even the bravest, whose courage is like that of a lion, will utterly melt away. For all Israel knows that your father is a warrior and that those with him are valiant men.' 11 'This is my advice: Gather all Israel to you, from Dan to Beersheba, as numerous as the sand on the seashore, and you yourself lead them into battle.' 12 'We will come upon him wherever he is found, and we will fall on him like dew settling on the ground. Not even one of his men will survive.' 13 'If he retreats into a city, all Israel will bring ropes to that city, and we will pull it into the valley until not even a pebble remains.' 14 Then Absalom and all the men of Israel said, 'The advice of Hushai the Archite is better than that of Ahithophel.' For the LORD had ordained to thwart the good advice of Ahithophel, so that the LORD might bring disaster upon Absalom.
