2 Samuel 16:20-22

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁰ Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, Give your counsel. What shall we do?

²¹ And Ahithophel said to Absalom, Go in to your father’s concubines whom he has left to keep the house; and all Israel will hear that you are abhorred by your father. Then the hands of all who are with you will be made strong.

²² So they spread for Absalom a tent on the top of the [king’s] house, and Absalom went in to his father’s harem in the sight of all Israel.
