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

And when Hushai was come to Absalom,.... Into the council chamber, very probably:

Absalom spake unto him, saying, Ahithophel hath spoken after this manner; and then related the counsel he had given as before:

shall we do [after] his saying? is it right to proceed on this scheme, and carry it into execution?

if not, speak thou; thy mind freely, without any reserve, or fear of giving any offence.
