OET (OET-RV) You yourself know your father and his men—and do remember that they’re powerful warriors—they’re still furious like a bear in the countryside that’s been robbed of its cubs. And your father is an experienced man of war, and he won’t spend the night there with the people.

17:1-14 Ahithophel proposed a quick surprise strike against David with a small force (12,000 men, 17:1), which would give David no time to organize and fight back. Then David’s double-agent Hushai suggested taking more time to mobilize the entire army of Israel (17:11). This plan would supposedly give them an insurmountable numerical advantage and prevent David from engaging in guerilla tactics. Because the Lord was working against Absalom, he rejected Ahithophel’s good strategy and accepted Hushai’s bad advice (17:14; cp. 1 Kgs 12:1-15).
