2 Samuel 17:6-8
English Standard Version
6 And when Hushai came to Absalom, Absalom said to him, “Thus has Ahithophel spoken; shall we do as he says? If not, you speak.” 7 Then Hushai said to Absalom, “This time the counsel that Ahithophel has given is not good.” 8 Hushai said, “You know that your father and his men are mighty men, and that they are enraged,[a] (A)like a bear robbed of her cubs in the field. Besides, your father is expert in war; he will not spend the night with the people.
