Read 2 Samuel 17.5-14
In verses 5-14: Hushai advises that Absalom wait and then attack David with the full force of all Israel (v. 11).
Of course, Hushai is trying t give David time to recuperate and reorganize.
He also plays on Absalom's ego, saying that all the people will follow him, and he can lead them into battle (v. 12).
Even though Ahithopel's advice is obviously better than Hushai's, the Lord had ordained that Absalom would be persuaded to follow Hushai.
