4 And the saying pleased Absalom and all the aelders of Israel.
The Advice of Hushai
5 Then Absalom said, “Now call Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear what he asays too.”
6 And when Hushai came to Absalom, Absalom spoke to him, saying, “Ahithophel has spoken in this manner. Shall we do as he says? If not, speak up.”
7 So Hushai said to Absalom: “The advice that Ahithophel has given is not good at this time.
8 For,” said Hushai, “you know your father and his men, that they are mighty men, and they are enraged in their minds, like aa bear robbed of her cubs in the field; and your father is a man of war, and will not camp with the people.
