'Advice' in the Bible

Look, all you {Israelites}! {Make your decision} and advice here."

Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, "Give your advice. What shall we do?"

I give the advice that all of Israel from Dan to Beersheba should be completely gathered to you, as the sand which [is] on the seashore for abundance, with {you personally} going into the battle.

Then Absalom and all the men of Israel said, "The advice of Hushai the Arkite [is] better than the advice of Ahithophel." (Now Yahweh had ordained to frustrate the good counsel of Ahithophel in order for Yahweh to bring misery upon Absalom).

When Ahithophel saw that his advice [was] not followed, he saddled the donkey, and he set out and went up to his house in his city. {After he set his house in order}, he hanged himself, and he died and was buried in the tomb of his ancestors.

But he rejected the advice of the old men, which they gave him, and he consulted with the youngsters who had grown up with him, who were {serving} before him.

Then the king answered all the people harshly, [as] he had rejected the advice of the old men that they had offered.

He spoke to them according to the advice of the youngsters, saying, "My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add onto your yoke; my father disciplined you with whips, but I will discipline you with scorpions."

You think only a word of lips, '[I have] advice and power for the war.' Now, on whom do you trust that you have rebelled against me?

But he forsook the advice of the elders that advised him and took counsel of the young men who had grown up with him who were {serving} before him.

And the king answered them harshly, and King Rehoboam forsook the advice of the elders.

And he spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, saying, "I will make your yoke heavy, and I myself will add to it. My father disciplined you with whips, but I [will do so] with scorpions."

And it happened [that] while he was speaking to him, he said to him, "Have we appointed you as a counselor to the king? Stop--{why should you be killed}?" So the prophet stopped and said, "I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this and have not listened to my advice."

So now let us make a covenant with our God to send away all of these women and their offspring, according to the advice of my lord and those who tremble at the commandment of our God. Let it be done according to the law.

{This advice pleased the king} and the officials, and the king acted according to the word of Memucan.

And Zeresh his wife and all of his friends said to him, "Let them make a gallows fifty cubits high, and in the morning tell the king, "Let them hang Mordecai on it; then go with the king to the banquet happily." The advice pleased Haman, so he had the gallows made.

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the advice of [the] wicked; nor does he stand in [the] way of sinners; nor does he sit in [the] assembly of mockers.

You will guide me with your advice, and afterward you will take me [into] honor.

{Advice and sound judgment} are mine; I am understanding, {strength is mine}.

The thoughts of the righteous are just; the advice of the wicked is treacherous.

The way of a fool is upright in his [own] eyes, but he who listens to advice [is] wise.

Only by insolence is strife set up, and wisdom [is] with those who take advice.

Listen [to] advice and accept instruction so that you will gain wisdom for your {future}.

A plan will be established by advice, and with guidance make war.

Perfume and incense will gladden a heart, and the pleasantness of one's friend [is] {personal advice}.

A poor but wise youth [is] better than an old but foolish king who no longer knows {how to receive advice}.

This also comes forth from Yahweh of hosts. He is wonderful [in] advice; he makes great wisdom.

Then they said, "Come and let us plan plans against Jeremiah, for instruction will not be lost from [the] priest, nor advice from [the] wise man, nor [the] word from [the] prophet. Come and {let us bring charges against him}, and let us not listen attentively to any of his words."

Therefore, O king, let my advice be acceptable [to you] and your sin remove with righteousness and your iniquity with having mercy on [the] oppressed, {in case there might be a prolongation of your prosperity}.'"

It will also be brought to Assyria, [as] tribute to [the] great king. Ephraim will obtain disgrace and Israel will be ashamed from his advice.
