2 Samuel 17:14

And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite [is] better than the counsel of Ahithophel. For the LORD had appointed to defeat the (d) good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that the LORD might (e) bring evil upon Absalom.

(d) That counsel which seemed good at first to Absalom, (2 Samuel 17:4).

(e) For by the counsel of Hushai, he went to the battle, where he was destroyed.
