Ahithophel also said to Absalom, “Let me now choose 12,000 men. Then I will chase David tonight.
At that time, the advice of Ahithophel was very {important} to both David and Absalom. It was as {important as} God’s word to a man.
I will catch him while he is tired and weak. I will scare him. And all his people will run away. But I will kill only King David.
I go to bed and sleep in peace.\par Why? Because, Lord, you lay me down to sleep in safety.\par
Those bad people race to do bad things. They are in a hurry to kill someone!
Bad people can’t sleep until they do something wrong. Those people can’t sleep until they hurt some other person.
