Context
1Moreover Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night:
2And I will come upon him while he weary and weak handed, and will make him afraid: and all the people that with him shall flee; and I will smite the king only:
3And I will bring back all the people unto thee: the man whom thou seekest as if all returned: all the people shall be in peace.
4And the saying pleased Absalom well, and all the elders of Israel.
