Contextual Overview

¹ Ahithophel said to Absalom, "Let me choose twelve thousand men and chase David tonight. ² I'll catch him while he is tired and weak, and I'll frighten him so all his people will run away. But I'll kill only King David. ³ Then I'll bring everyone back to you. If the man you are looking for is dead, everyone else will return safely." ⁴ This plan seemed good to Absalom and to all the leaders of Israel. ⁵ But Absalom said, "Now call Hushai the Arkite, so I can hear what he says." ⁶ When Hushai came to Absalom, Absalom said to him, "This is the plan Ahithophel gave. Should we follow it? If not, tell us." ⁷ Hushai said to Absalom, "Ahithophel's advice is not good this time." ⁸ Hushai added, "You know your father and his men are strong. They are as angry as a bear that is robbed of its cubs. Your father is a skilled fighter. He won't stay all night with the army. ⁹ He is probably already hiding in a cave or some other place. If the first attack fails, people will hear the news and think, ‘Absalom's followers are losing!' ¹⁰ Then even the men who are as brave as lions will be frightened, because all the Israelites know your father is a fighter. They know his men are brave!

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then said Absalom, call now Hushai the Archite also,.... For it seems he was not at the council board at this time; whether he was as yet admitted to it is not certain: there is something very remarkable in the providence of God, to incline Absalom to have the opinion of Hushai upon this point, when the counsel of Ahithophel was so universally approved of; and Hushai also being well known to have been an intimate friend and confident of David's, and not so settled and established in the interest of Absalom, and such a sworn friend of his as Ahithophel was; this can only be ascribed to the will of God, to defeat the counsel of Ahithophel, and the wisdom of divine Providence in blinding the mind of Absalom with respect to his counsel, and inclining it to take the opinion of Hushai:

and let us hear likewise what he saith; which he might say without any diffidence about the "counsel" given, but knowing that in the multitude of counsellors there is safety; and Hushai being a wise and good counsellor, he might hope and expect that he would give the same advice, and so strengthen and confirm it.
