Matthew 27:1
Jesus Delivered to Pilate
1 wWhen morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people xtook counsel against Jesus to put him to death.
2 Samuel 17:1–4
Hushai Saves David
1 Moreover, Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Let me choose twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue David tonight. 2 I will come upon him while he is qweary and discouraged and throw him into a panic, and all the people who are with him will flee. rI will strike down only the king, 3 and I will bring all the people back to you as a bride comes home to her husband. You seek the life of only one man,1 and all the people will be at peace.” 4 And the advice seemed right in the eyes of Absalom and all the elders of Israel.
