II - Chapter 17

1And Achitofel said to Avshalom, “Let me pick twelve thousand men and set out tonight in pursuit of David.

2I will come upon him when he is weary and disheartened, and I will throw him into a panic; and when all the troops with him flee, I will kill the king alone.

4The advice pleased Avshalom and all the elders of Yisrael.

5But Avshalom said, “Summon Hushai the Archite as well, so we can hear what he too has to say.”

6Hushai came to Avshalom, and Avshalom said to him, “This is what Achitofel has advised. Shall we follow his advice? If not, what do you say?”

7Hushai said to Avshalom, “This time the advice that Achitofel has given is not good.

8You know,” Hushai continued, “that your father and his men are courageous fighters, and they are as desperate as a bear in the wild robbed of her whelps. Your father is an experienced soldier, and he will not spend the night with the troops;

9even now he must be hiding in one of the pits or in some other place. And if any of them fall at the first attack, whoever hears of it will say, ‘A disaster has struck the troops that follow Avshalom';

10and even if he is a brave man with the heart of a lion, he will be shaken—for all Yisrael knows that your father and the soldiers with him are courageous fighters.

11So I advise that all Yisrael from Dan to Be'er Sheva—as numerous as the sands of the sea—be called up to join you, and that you yourself march into battle.

12When we come upon him in whatever place he may be, we'll descend on him [as thick] as dew falling on the ground; and no one will survive, neither he nor any of the men with him.

13And if he withdraws into a city, all Yisrael will bring ropes to that city and drag its stones as far as the riverbed, until not even a pebble of it is left.”

14Avshalom and all Yisrael agreed that the advice of Hushai the Archite was better than that of Achitofel.—Hashem had decreed that Achitofel's sound advice be nullified, in order that Hashem might bring ruin upon Avshalom.

15Then Hushai told the Kohanim Tzadok and Evyatar, “This is what Achitofel advised Avshalom and the elders of Yisrael; this is what I advised.

16Now send at once and tell David, ‘Do not spend the night at the fords of the wilderness, but cross over at once; otherwise the king and all the troops with him will be annihilated.'”

17Yehonatan and Ahimaaz were staying at Enrogel, and a slave girl would go and bring them word and they in turn would go and inform King David. For they themselves dared not be seen entering the city.

18But a boy saw them and informed Avshalom. They left at once and came to the house of a man in Bahurim who had a well in his courtyard. They got down into it,

19and the wife took a cloth, spread it over the mouth of the well, and scattered groats on top of it, so that nothing would be noticed.

20When Avshalom's servants came to the woman at the house and asked where Ahimaaz and Yehonatan were, the woman told them that they had crossed a bit beyond the water. They searched, but found nothing; and they returned to Yerushalayim.

21After they were gone, [Ahimaaz and Yehonatan] came up from the well and went and informed King David. They said to David, “Go and cross the water quickly, for Achitofel has advised thus and thus concerning you.”

22David and all the troops with him promptly crossed the Yarden, and by daybreak not one was left who had not crossed the Yarden.

23When Achitofel saw that his advice had not been followed, he saddled his ass and went home to his native town. He set his affairs in order, and then he hanged himself. He was buried in his ancestral tomb.
