20. And Absalom said to Achitophel: Consult what we are to do.
21. And Achitophel said to Absalom: Go in to the concubines of thy father, whom he hath left to keep the house: that when all Israel shall hear that thou hast disgraced thy father, their hands may be strengthened with thee.
22. So they spread a tent for Absalom on the top of the house, and he went in to his father's concubines before all Israel.
23. Now the counsel of Achitophel, which he gave in those days, was as if a man should consult God: so was all the counsel of Achitophel, both when he was with David, and when he was with Absalom.
