7 Ahithóphels counſel is ouerthrowen by Huſhái 14 The Lord had ſo ordeined. 19 The Prieſts ſonnes are hid in the well. 22 Dauid goeth ouer Iordén. 23 Ahithóphel hangeth him ſelfe. 27 Thei bring vitails to Dauid.
11.Therefore my counſel is, that all Iſraél be gathered vnto thee, from Dan euen to Beér-ſhéba as the ſand of the ſea in nomber, and that thou go to battel in thine owne perſone.
13.Moreouer if he be gotten into a citie, then ſhal all the men of Iſraél bring ropes to that citie, and we wil drawe it into the riuer, vntil there be not one ſmale ſtone found there.
15.Then ſaid Huſhái vnto Zadók and to Abiathár the Prieſts, Of this and that maner did Ahithóphel and the Elders of Iſraél counſel Abſalóm: and thus and thus haue I counſeled.
17.¶ Now Ionathán and Ahimáaz abode by En-rogél: ( for they might not be ſene to come into the citie ) and a maid went, and tolde them, and they went and ſhewed King Dauid.

24.¶ Then Dauid came to Mahanáim. And Abſalóm paſſed ouer Iordén, he, and all the men of Iſraél with him.
26.So Iſraél and Abſalóm pitched in the land of Gileád.
27.¶ And when Dauid was come to Mahanáim, Shobí the ſonne of Naháſh out of Rabbáh of the children of Ammón, and Machír the ſonne of Ammiél out of Lo-debár, and Barzelái the Gileadite out of Rogél
