And when Chusai was come to Absalom, Absalom said to him: Achitophel hath spoken after this manner. Shall we do it or not? What counsel dost thou give?
And it was told David that Achitophel also was in the conspiracy with Absalom, and David said: Infatuate, O Lord, I beseech thee, the counsel of Achitophel.
And he said to them: What counsel do you give me, that I may answer this people, who have said to me: Make the yoke which thy father put upon us lighter?
