2 i Samuelit 17:14

Absalomi dhe tërë njerëzit e Izraelit thanë: "Këshilla e Arkitit Hushai është më e mirë se ajo e Ahithofelit". Në të vërtetë Zoti kishte vendosur ta bënte të kotë këshillën e mirë të Ahithofelit për të shkatërruar Absalomin.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Absalom and all the men of Israel said,.... That is, the elders, who before approved of the counsel of Ahithophel, 2 Samuel 17:4;

the counsel of Hushai the Archite [is] better than the counsel of Ahithophel; it appeared to them most plausible, and most likely to be attended with success:

for the Lord had appointed to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel; for so it was to Absalom and his party the best and wisest that could be given them; but it was the Lord's will it should be defeated, and therefore the minds of Absalom and of the elders of Israel were blinded:

to the intent that the Lord might bring evil upon Absalom; his person and cause; that his cause might be ruined, and he himself slain in battle; see Proverbs 19:21.
