2 Samuel 16:20-22
1599 Geneva Bible
20 ¶ Then spake Absalom to Ahithophel, Give counsel what we shall do.
21 And [a]Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Go in to thy father’s concubines, which he hath left to keep the house: and when all Israel shall hear that thou art abhorred of thy father, the hands of all that are with thee, shall be strong.
22 So they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the house, and Absalom went in to his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.
