2 Samuel 17:1-3
International Standard Version
17 1 “Give me 12,000 men! I’ll leave[a] tonight and pursue David,” Ahithophel advised Absalom. 2 “I’ll catch him while he is still tired and weak.[b] I’ll frighten him so all his people with him desert him. But I’ll only kill the king. 3 Then I’ll bring everybody else back to you. When the man you’re looking for is dead, all the rest of the people will return quietly.”
