2 Samuel 17:7 Context
5Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let vs heare likewise what he saith. 6And when Hushai was come to Absalom, Absalom spake vnto him, saying, Ahithophel hath spoken after this maner: shall we doe after his saying? if not, speake thou. 7And Hushai said vnto Absalom, The counsell that Ahithophel hath giuen, is not good at this time. 8For, (said Hushai,) thou knowest thy father and his men, that they bee mightie men, and they be chafed in their minds, as a beare robbed of her whelps in the field: and thy father is a man of warre, and will not lodge with the people. 9Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or in some other place: and it wil come to passe when some of them bee ouerthrowen at the first, that whosoeuer heareth it, wil say, There is a slaughter among the people that followe Absalom.
