²I will ^[a]strike while he is weary and ^[b]exhausted, and terrify him; and all the people with him will flee [in terror]. Then I will attack the king alone, ³and I will bring all the people [who follow David] back to you. ^[c]The return of everyone depends on the [death of the] man you are seeking; then all the people will be at peace [and accept you as king].” ⁴So the plan ^[d]pleased Absalom and all the elders of Israel.
