2 Samuel 17:13-15
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
13 If he withdraws into a city, then shall all Israel bring ropes to that city, and we will drag it into the ravine until not one pebble is left there.
14 Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than that of Ahithophel. For the Lord had ordained to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, so that the Lord might bring evil upon Absalom.
15 Then said Hushai to Zadok and Abiathar the priests, Thus and thus did Ahithophel counsel Absalom and the elders of Israel, and thus and thus have I counseled.

13 If he withdraws into a city, then all Israel will bring ropes to that city, and we will drag it down to the valley(A) until not so much as a pebble is left.”
14 Absalom and all the men of Israel said, “The advice(B) of Hushai the Arkite is better than that of Ahithophel.”(C) For the Lord had determined to frustrate(D) the good advice of Ahithophel in order to bring disaster(E) on Absalom.(F)
15 Hushai told Zadok and Abiathar, the priests, “Ahithophel has advised Absalom and the elders of Israel to do such and such, but I have advised them to do so and so.
