2 Samuel 17:7-9
American Standard Version
7 And Hushai said unto Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel hath given this time is not good. 8 Hushai said moreover, Thou knowest thy father and his men, that they are mighty men, and they are [a]chafed in their minds, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field; and thy father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people. 9 Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or in some other place: and it will come to pass, [b]when some of them are fallen at the first, that whosoever heareth it will say, There is a slaughter among the people that follow Absalom.
