Ahithophel asks Absalom to let him choose twelve thousand men and pursue David

아히도벨이 압살롬에게 사람 일만 이천을 택하게 하여 달라고 말함

2 Samuel 17:1–4: moreover Ahithophel says to Absalom, “Let me now choose twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David tonight. I will come on him while he is weary and exhausted, and will make him afraid. All the people who are with him will flee. I will strike the king only, and I will bring back all the people to you. The man whom you seek is as if all returned. All the people shall be in peace.” The saying pleases Absalom well, and all the elders of Israel. At 17:2 the Korean Revised Version names King David (다윗왕만 쳐 죽이고), and at 17:3 it reads 무리의 돌아오기는 왕의 찾는 이 사람에게 달렸음이라, the return of all hangs on the man the king seeks.
