La Bible David Martin

2 Samuel 17:14

Alors Absalom et tous les hommes d'Israël dirent : Le conseil de Cusaï Arkite est meilleur que le conseil d'Achithophel; car l'Eternel avait décrété que le conseil d'Achithophel, qui était le plus utile [pour Absalom], fût dissipé, afin de faire venir le mal sur Absalom.

La Bible Ostervald (1996)
Alors Absalom et tous les hommes d'Israël dirent: Le conseil de Cushaï, l'Arkite, vaut mieux que le conseil d'Achithophel. Car l'Éternel avait décrété de dissiper le conseil d'Achithophel, qui était bon, afin de faire venir le mal sur Absalom.
Darby's French Translation
Et Absalom et tous les hommes d'Israël dirent: Le conseil de Hushaï, l'Arkite, est meilleur que le conseil d'Akhitophel. Et l'Éternel avait décrété d'annuler le bon conseil d'Akhitophel, pour que l'Éternel fît venir le mal sur Absalom.
Louis Segond (1910)
Absalom et tous les gens d'Israël dirent: Le conseil de Huschaï, l'Arkien, vaut mieux que le conseil d'Achitophel. Or l'Eternel avait résolu d'anéantir le bon conseil d'Achitophel, afin d'amener le malheur sur Absalom.

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.
