1 Então Aitofel disse a Absalão: Eu escolherei agora doze mil homens, e me levantarei, e seguirei a Davi esta noite;

2 E o atacarei quando ele estiver cansado e fraco das mãos; eu o atemorizarei, e todo aquele povo que está com ele fugirá, e ferirei ao rei somente.

3 Assim farei tornar todo aquele povo a ti: e quando eles houverem voltado, (pois aquele homem é o que tu queres) todo aquele povo estará em paz.

4 Esta razão apareceu bem a Absalão e a todos os anciãos de Israel.
