2 Samuel 16:21 in Context — 2 Samuel 16
19 E a quem havia eu de servir? Não seria a seu filho? Como servi diante de teu pai, assim serei diante de ti.
20 Então disse Absalão a Aitofel: Consultai que faremos.
21 E Aitofel disse a Absalão: Entra às concubinas de teu pai, que ele deixou para guardar a casa; e todo aquele povo de Israel ouvirá que te fizeste aborrecível a teu pai, e assim se esforçarão as mãos de todos os que estão contigo.
22 Então puseram uma tenda a Absalão sobre o terraço, e entrou Absalão às concubinas de seu pai, em olhos de todo Israel.
23 E o conselho que dava Aitofel em aqueles dias, era como se consultassem a palavra de Deus. Tal era o conselho de Aitofel, assim com Davi como com Absalão.
