Then Hushai said to Zadok and Abiathar the priests, Thus and so did Ahithophel counsel Absalom and the elders of Israel, and thus and so have I counseled — Hushai now reveals the stratagem to the priests who are his connection to David. He reports both Ahithophel's counsel and his own counter-counsel, allowing the priests to understand what has transpired. Hushai's action is essential: David must know about the delay that has been created.
