NASB
"Furthermore, Ahithophel said to Absalom, "Please let me choose 12,men that I may arise and pursue David tonight."
— 2 Samuel 17:1, NASB
“Moreover Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night:”
“Moreover Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night: ”
“Moreover Ahithophel said to Absalom, "Let me now choose twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David tonight.”
“The Death of Ahithophel Ahithophel said to Absalom,“Let me pick out twelve thousand men. Then I will go and pursue David this very night.”
“And Achitophel said to Absalom: I will choose me twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night.”
“Then Ahithophel said to Absalom, Let me take out twelve thousand men and this very night I will go after David:”
“Moreover Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night:”
Furthermore, Ahithophel said to Absalom, "Please let me choose 12,men that I may arise and pursue David tonight.
"I will come upon him while he is weary and exhausted and terrify him, so that all the people who are with him will flee. Then I will strike down the king alone,
and I will bring back all the people to you. The return of everyone depends on the man you seek; then all the people will be at peace."
So the plan pleased Absalom and all the elders of Israel.
