2 Samuel 17:9 in Context — 2 Samuel 17
7 Então Husai disse a Absalão: O conselho que deu esta vez Aitofel não é bom.
8 E acrescentou Husai: Tu sabes que teu pai e os seus são homens valentes, e que estão com amargura de ânimo, como a ursa no campo quando lhe tiraram os filhos. Além disso, teu pai é homem de guerra, e não terá a noite com o povo.
9 Eis que ele estará agora escondido em alguma cova, ou em outro lugar: e se ao princípio caírem alguns dos teus, ouvirá quem o ouvir, e dirá: O povo que segue a Absalão foi derrotado.
10 Assim ainda o homem valente, cujo coração seja como coração de leão, sem dúvida desmaiará: porque todo Israel sabe que teu pai é homem valente, e que os que estão com ele são esforçados.
11 Aconselho, pois, que todo Israel se junte a ti, desde Dã até Berseba, em multidão como a areia que está à beira do mar, e que tu em pessoa vás à batalha.
