2 Samuel 17:2-4

EasyEnglish Bible

² Now he will be very tired and weak. So when we attack him, he will be frightened. All his soldiers will run away. But I will kill only the king. ³ Then I will bring all his army back to you. If we kill this one man that you want to destroy, then all the people will return safely.’

⁴ This seemed a good idea to Absalom and to all the leaders of Israel.
