And Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Go in unto thy father's concubines, which he hath left to keep the house; and all Israel shall hear that thou art abhorred of thy father: then shall the hands of all that [are] with thee be strong.
And Ahithophel {H302} said {H559} unto Absalom {H53}, Go in {H935} unto thy father's {H1} concubines {H6370}, which he hath left {H3240} to keep {H8104} the house {H1004}; and all Israel {H3478} shall hear {H8085} that thou art abhorred {H887} of thy father {H1}: then shall the hands {H3027} of all that are with thee be strong {H2388}.
Achitofel answered Avshalom, "Go in, and sleep with your father's concubines, the ones he left to take care of the palace. All Isra'el will hear that your father utterly despises you, and this will strengthen the position of all those who are on your side."
Ahithophel replied, “Sleep with your father’s concubines, whom he has left to keep the palace. When all Israel hears that you have become a stench to your father, then the hands of all who are with you will be strengthened.”
And Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Go in unto thy father’s concubines, that he hath left to keep the house; and all Israel will hear that thou art abhorred of thy father: then will the hands of all that are with thee be strong.
