ગુજરાતી2 શમુએલ ૧૭:૧૪
પછી આબ્શાલોમે તથા ઇઝરાયલના સર્વ માણસોએ કહ્યું, “હુશાય આર્કીની સલાહ અહિથોફેલની સલાહ કરતાં વધારે સારી છે.” આબ્શાલોમ આફતમાં મુકાય તે માટે ઈશ્વરે અહિથોફેલની સારી સલાહ નિષ્ફળ કરવાનું નક્કી કર્યું હતું.
हिन्दी2 शमूएल १७:१४
तब अबशालोम और सब इस्राएली पुरुषों ने कहा, “एरेकी हूशै की सम्मति अहीतोपेल की सम्मति से उत्तम है।” यहोवा ने तो अहीतोपेल की अच्छी सम्मति को निष्फल करने की ठानी थी, कि वह अबशालोम ही पर विपत्ति डाले।

13Moreover, if he has gone into a city, then all Israel will bring ropes to that city, and we will draw it into the river, until there isn’t one small stone found there.”

14Absalom and all the men of Israel said, “The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel.” For the LORD had ordained to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that the LORD might bring evil on Absalom.

15Then Hushai said to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, “Ahithophel counseled Absalom and the elders of Israel that way; and I have counseled this way.
