"But Absalom said, “Summon Hushai the Archite, and let us hear what he also may say.” "
— 2 Samuel 17:5, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear likewise what he saith.”
“Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear likewise what he saith. ”
“Then Absalom said, "Now call Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear likewise what he says."”
“But Absalom said,“Call for Hushai the Arkite, and let’s hear what he has to say.””
“But Absalom said: Call Chusai the Arachite, and let us hear what he also saith.”
“Then Absalom said, Now send for Hushai the Archite, and let us give ear to what he has to say.”
“Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear likewise what he saith.”
And rushing against him, for he is weary and has weakened hands, I will strike him. And when all the people who are with him will have fled, I will strike down the king in isolation.
And I will lead back the entire people, returning in the manner of one man. For you are seeking only one man. And all the people shall be in peace.”
And this word pleased Absalom and all those greater by birth of Israel.
But Absalom said, “Summon Hushai the Archite, and let us hear what he also may say.”
And when Hushai had gone to Absalom, Absalom said to him: “Ahithophel has spoken a word in this manner. Should we do it or not? What counsel do you give?”
And Hushai said to Absalom, “The counsel that Ahithophel has given at this time is not good.”
And again Hushai declared, “You know your father, and the men who are with him, to be very strong and bitter in soul, comparable to a bear raging in the forest when her young have been taken away. Moreover, your father is a man of war, and so he will not live among the people.
