2 Samuel 17:3-5

New International Version

³ and bring all the people back to you. The death of the man you seek will mean the return of all; all the people will be unharmed.” ⁴ This plan seemed good to Absalom and to all the elders of Israel.

⁵ But Absalom said, “Summon also Hushai^(A) the Arkite, so we can hear what he has to say as well.”
