2 Samuel 17:9 in Context — 2 Samuel 17
7 Entonces Husai dijo á Absalom: El consejo que ha dado esta vez Achitophel no es bueno.
8 Y añadió Husai: Tú sabes que tu padre y los suyos son hombres valientes, y que están con amargura de ánimo, como la osa en el campo cuando le han quitado los hijos. Además, tu padre es hombre de guerra, y no tendrá la noche con el pueblo.
9 He aquí él estará ahora escondido en alguna cueva, ó en otro lugar: y si al principio cayeren algunos [de los tuyos], oirálo quien lo oyere, y dirá: El pueblo que sigue á Absalom ha sido derrotado.
10 Así aun el hombre valiente, cuyo corazón sea como corazón de león, sin duda desmayará: porque todo Israel sabe que tu padre es hombre valiente, y que los que están con él son esforzados.
11 Aconsejo pues que todo Israel se junte á ti, desde Dan hasta Beer-seba, en multitud como la arena que está á la orilla de la mar, y que tú en persona vayas á la batalla.
