Minutes of today’s council. Ahithophel proposed twelve thousand men tonight: attack David while he’s tired, kill only the king, and everyone else comes back. Absalom approved. So did we all. He then asked for Hushai’s view.

Hushai said not this time. He knows his father and his men. Right now they’re as angry as a bear that’s lost her cubs. Gather all Israel first, and lead them yourself. We went with Hushai.
