2 Samuel 17:1-3

The Voice

Ahithophel: Let me choose 12,000 men, and tonight we will pursue David ^2-3 while he is weak and weary. We’ll throw him into a panic; then all of the people will run away from him, come back to you, and be safe. I will strike down the king. If we take only the life of this one man here—your father—then everyone else can return to you.
