2 SAMUEL 17:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or in some other place: and it will come to pass, when some of them be overthrown at the first, that whosoever heareth it will say, There is a slaughter among the people that follow Absalom.”
Behold, even now he has hidden himself in one of the pits or in some other place — and when some of the people fall at the first attack, whoever hears it will say, 'There has been a slaughter among the people who follow Absalom' — Hushai proposes that David has hidden himself in an unexpected location. If Ahithophel's initial attack encounters resistance, the rumor of David's strength will spread. The first casualties will be Absalom's men, creating psychological damage and loss of confidence.
