The Counsel of Ahithophel and Hushai

The Counsel of Ahithophel and Hushai


15Then Absalom and all the men of Israel came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel was with him. 16And David’s friend Hushai the Archite went to Absalom and said to him, “Long live the king! Long live the king!”


17“Is this the loyalty you show your friend?” Absalom replied. “Why did you not go with your friend?”


18“Not at all,” Hushai answered. “For the one chosen by the LORD, by the people, and by all the men of Israel—his I will be, and with him I will remain. 19Furthermore, whom should I serve if not the son? As I served in your father’s presence, so also I will serve in yours.”


20Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, “Give me counsel. What should we do?”


21Ahithophel replied, “Sleep with your father’s concubines, whom he has left to keep the palace. When all Israel hears that you have become a stench to your father, then the hands of all who are with you will be strengthened.”


22So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the roof, and he slept with his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.


23Now in those days the advice of Ahithophel was like the consultation of the word of God. Such was the regard that both David and Absalom had for Ahithophel’s advice.
