Mat 24:2Mic 1:6 And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel.

¶ Then said Hushai unto Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, Thus and thus did Ahithophel counsel Absalom and the elders of Israel; and thus and thus have I counselled. 2Sa 15:35-36 Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying, Lodge not this night in the plains of the wilderness, but speedily pass over; lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that are with him. 2Sa 15:281Co 15:542Co 5:41Sa 20:382Sa 15:142Sa 17:21-222Sa 20:19-20Mat 24:16-18 Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz stayed by En-rogel; for they might not be seen to come into the city: and a wench went and told them; and they went and told king David. 2Sa 15:362Sa 15:27Jos 15:7Jos 18:161Ki 1:9Jos 2:4-24 Nevertheless a lad saw them, and told Absalom: but they went both of them away quickly, and came to a man’s house in Bahurim, which had a well in his court; whither they went down. 2Sa 3:162Sa 16:52Sa 19:16 And the woman took and spread a covering over the well’s mouth, and spread ground corn thereon; and the thing was not known. Exo 1:19Jos 2:4-24 And when Absalom’s servants came to the woman to the house, they said, Where is Ahimaaz and Jonathan? And the woman said unto them, They be gone over the brook of water.
