And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel. For Jehovah had ordained to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that Jehovah might bring evil upon Absalom.

Then Absalom and all the men of Israel said, Hushai's suggestion is better than that of Ahithophel. For it was the purpose of the Lord to make the wise designs of Ahithophel without effect, so that the Lord might send evil on Absalom.

Και ειπεν ο Αβεσσαλωμ και παντες οι ανδρες Ισραηλ, Καλητερα ειναι η συμβουλη του Χουσαι του Αρχιτου παρα την συμβουλην του Αχιτοφελ. Διοτι ο Κυριος διεταξε να διασκεδαση την καλην συμβουλην του Αχιτοφελ, δια να επιφερη ο Κυριος το κακον επι τον Αβεσσαλωμ.

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 good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that the Lord might bring evil upon Absalom.
