Context
The Death of Ahithophel
17:1 Ahithophel said to Absalom , “Let me pick out twelve thousand men . Then I will go and pursue David this very night .
17:2 When I catch up with him he will be exhausted and worn out . I will rout him, and the entire army that is with him will flee . I will kill only the king
17:3 and will bring the entire army back to you. In exchange for the life of the man you are seeking , you will get back everyone . The entire army will return unharmed .”
17:4 This seemed like a good idea to Absalom and to all the leaders of Israel .
17:5 But Absalom said , “Call for Hushai the Arkite , and let’s hear what he has to say .”
17:6 So Hushai came to Absalom . Absalom said to him, “Here is what Ahithophel has advised . Should we follow his advice ? If not , what would you recommend ?”
17:7 Hushai replied to Absalom , “Ahithophel’s advice is not sound this time .”
