2 Samuel 17:14 in Context — 2 Samuel 17
12 Então lhe acometeremos em qualquer lugar que puder achar-se, e viremos contra ele como quando o orvalho cai sobre a terra, e a ninguém deixaremos dele, e de todos os que com ele estão.
13 E se se recolher em alguma cidade, todos os de Israel trarão cordas àquela cidade, e a arrastaremos até o ribeiro, que nunca mais apareça pedra dela.
14 Então Absalão e todos os de Israel disseram: O conselho de Husai arquita é melhor que o conselho de Aitofel. Porque o SENHOR havia ordenado que o acertado conselho de Aitofel se frustrasse, para que o SENHOR fizesse vir o mal sobre Absalão.
15 Disse logo Husai a Zadoque e a Abiatar sacerdotes: Assim e assim aconselhou Aitofel a Absalão e aos anciãos de Israel: e desta maneira aconselhei eu.
16 Portanto enviai imediatamente, e dai aviso a Davi, dizendo: Não fiques esta noite nos campos do deserto, mas sim passa logo o Jordão, para que o rei não seja consumido, e todo aquele povo que com ele está.
