Absalom accepts Hushai’s Counsel
Moreover counselled Hushai, if we watch and wait, we shall come upon him suddenly in some place where he shall be found and we will descend upon him as the dew falls to the ground and of him and all the men that are with him not one shall escape. Besides if he is found in the city, then shall all Israel bring ropes to the city and we shall use the ropes to draw every stone out of the river and there will not be one small stone left there. And Absalom and the men of Israel said, “The counsel of Hushai is better than the counsel of Ahithophel.” For the LORD had appointed to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel for the purpose of bringing evil upon Absalom. Then said Hushai to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests Thus and thus did Ahithophel counsel Absalom and the elders of Israel. And thus I thus I counselled. Now therefore send quickly and tell David not to lodge tonight in the plains of the wilderness but speedily pass over lest he be be swallowed up and all the people with him.”
