2 Samuel 17:5-10

But Absalom said, “Now call Hushai the Arkite, so I can hear what he says.” When Hushai came to Absalom, Absalom said to him, “This is the plan Ahithophel gave. Should we follow it? If not, tell us.” Hushai said to Absalom, “Ahithophel’s advice is not good this time.” 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. 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!’ 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!
