Parallel
2 Samuel 17:14
King James Version (1769 Blayney revision, with Apocrypha) · Berean Standard Bible
And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel. For the Lord had appointed (note: Heb. commanded) to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that the Lord might bring evil upon Absalom.
Then Absalom and all the men of Israel said, “The advice of Hushai the Archite is better than that of Ahithophel.” For the LORD had purposed to thwart the good counsel of Ahithophel in order to bring disaster on Absalom.
