2 Samuel 17:2-4
Lexham English Bible

2 I will come upon him while he is weary and weak.[a] I will startle him, and all of the people who are with him will flee. Then I will strike down the king while he is alone. 3 Then I will return all the people to you; when all have returned, the man whom you are seeking will be dead,[b] but all the people will be safe.” 4 The word was right in the eyes of Absalom and in the eyes of all the elders of Israel.
