In context
1 Furthermore, Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Let me choose twelve thousand men and set out tonight in pursuit of David.
2 I will attack him while he is weak and weary; I will throw him into a panic, and all the people with him will flee; I will strike down only the king
3 and bring all the people back to you as a bride returning to her husband. You seek the life of only one man; then all the people will be at peace.”
4 This proposal seemed good to Absalom and all the elders of Israel.
