"And Hushai said unto Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel hath given this time is not good. "
— 2 Samuel 17:7, American Standard Version
“And Hushai said unto Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel hath given is not good at this time.”
“Hushai said to Absalom, "The counsel that Ahithophel has given this time is not good."”
“Hushai replied to Absalom,“Ahithophel’s advice is not sound this time.””
“And Chusai said to Absalom: The counsel that Achitophel hath given this time is not good.”
“And Hushai said to Absalom, Ahithophel's idea is not a good one at this time.”
“And Hushai said unto Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel hath given is not good at this time.”
And the saying pleased Absalom well, and all the elders of Israel.
Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear likewise what he saith.
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.
And Hushai said unto Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel hath given this time is not good.
Hushai said moreover, Thou knowest thy father and his men, that they are mighty men, and they are chafed in their minds, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field; and thy father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people.
Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or in some other place: and it will come to pass, when some of them are fallen at the first, that whosoever heareth it will say, There is a slaughter among the people that follow Absalom.
And even he that is valiant, whose heart is as the heart of a lion, will utterly melt; for all Israel knoweth that thy father is a mighty man, and they that are with him are valiant men.
