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.
