2 Samuel 17:7

---

← 2 Samuel 17:6	2 Samuel 17:7 (KJV)	2 Samuel 17:8 →
And when Hushai was come to Absalom, Absalom spake unto him, saying, Ahithophel hath spoken after this manner: shall we do [after] his saying? if not; speak thou.	And Hushai said unto Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel hath given [is] not good at this time.	For, said Hushai, thou knowest thy father and his men, that they [be] mighty men, and they [be] chafed in their minds, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field: and thy father [is] a man of war, and will not lodge with the people.
