2 Samuel 17:12-14

Revised Geneva Translation

¹² “So shall we come upon him in some place, wherever we shall find him. And we will fall upon him as the dew falls on the ground. And of all the men who are with him we will not leave one.

¹³ “Moreover, if he has gotten into a city, then shall all the men of Israel bring ropes to that city. And we will draw it into the river, until there is not one small stone found there.”

¹⁴ Then Absalom and all the men of Israel said, “The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel.” (For the LORD had determined to destroy the good counsel of Ahithophel, so that the LORD might bring misery upon Absalom).
