2 Samuel 17:5-7

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

The Counsel of Hushai

⁵ Then Absalom said, ‘Call Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear too what he has to say.’ ⁶ When Hushai came to Absalom, Absalom said to him, ‘This is what Ahithophel has said; shall we do as he advises? If not, you tell us.’ ⁷ Then Hushai said to Absalom, ‘This time the counsel that Ahithophel has given is not good.’
