Hushai said moreover, “You know your father and his men, that they are mighty men, and they are fierce in their minds, like a bear robbed of her cubs in the field. Your father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people.

ગુજરાતી2 શમુએલ ૧૭:૮
વળી હુશાયે કહ્યું, “તને ખબર છે કે તારા પિતા અને તેના માણસો બહુ હિંમતવાન યોદ્ધાઓ છે, જેમ પોતાના બચ્ચાં છીનવાઈ જવાથી રીંછણ ક્રોધિત હોય છે તેવા તે લોકો છે. તારો પિતા લડવૈયા પુરુષ છે; તે આજે રાત્રે સૈનિકોની સાથે રહેશે નહિ.
हिन्दी2 शमूएल १७:८
फिर हूशै ने कहा, “तू तो अपने पिता और उसके जनों को जानता है कि वे शूरवीर हैं, और बच्चा छीनी हुई रीछनी के समान क्रोधित होंगे। तेरा पिता योद्धा है; और अन्य लोगों के साथ रात नहीं बिताता।

In context

6When Hushai had come to Absalom, Absalom spoke to him, saying, “Ahithophel has spoken like this. Shall we do what he says? If not, speak up.”

7Hushai said to Absalom, “The counsel that Ahithophel has given this time is not good.”

8Hushai said moreover, “You know your father and his men, that they are mighty men, and they are fierce in their minds, like a bear robbed of her cubs in the field. Your father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people.

9Behold, he is now hidden in some pit, or in some other place. It will happen, when some of them have fallen at the first, that whoever hears it will say, ‘There is a slaughter among the people who follow Absalom!’

10Even he who is valiant, whose heart is as the heart of a lion, will utterly melt; for all Israel knows that your father is a mighty man, and those who are with him are valiant men.
