◄ H2365 ►

And it came to pass, that when David was come to the top of the mount, where he worshipped God, behold, H2365 the Archite came to meet him with his coat rent, and earth upon his head:

So H2365 David's friend came into the city, and Absalom came into Jerusalem.

And it came to pass, when H2365 the Archite, David's friend, was come unto Absalom, that H2365 said unto Absalom, God save the king, God save the king.

And Absalom said to H2365, Is this thy kindness to thy friend? why wentest thou not with thy friend?

And H2365 said unto Absalom, Nay; but whom the LORD, and this people, and all the men of Israel, choose, his will I be, and with him will I abide.

Then said Absalom, Call now H2365 the Archite also, and let us hear likewise what he saith.

And when H2365 was come to Absalom, Absalom spake unto him, saying, Ahithophel hath spoken after this manner: shall we do after his saying? if not; speak thou.

And H2365 said unto Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel hath given is not good at this time.

For, said H2365, thou knowest thy father and his men, that they be mighty men, and they be chafed in their minds, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field: and thy father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people.

And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of H2365 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.
