Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

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).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
(Occurrence 0) come on him
(Some words not found in UHB: and,come to=him/it in/on/at/with,one_of the,places which/who he/it_was_found there and,we on/upon/above=him/it just=as falls the,dew on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=soil and=not left in/on/over=him/it and=on/over=all the,men which/who with=him/it also/yet one(ms) )
This means to purposefully go to where he is and then to attack.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
(Occurrence 0) we will cover him as the dew falls on the ground
(Some words not found in UHB: and,come to=him/it in/on/at/with,one_of the,places which/who he/it_was_found there and,we on/upon/above=him/it just=as falls the,dew on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=soil and=not left in/on/over=him/it and=on/over=all the,men which/who with=him/it also/yet one(ms) )
Absalom’s army is described as covering David’s army like the dew covers the ground in the morning. Alternate translation: “we will overwhelm and completely defeat David’s army”
