2 Samuel 17:9

Behold , even now he has hidden himself in one of the pits or in some other place . And as soon as some of the people fall at the first attack, whoever hears it will say , There has been a slaughter among the people who follow Absalom .

Even now, he is hidden in a cave or some other place. If he should attack your troops first, whoever hears about it will say, ‘There has been a slaughter among the troops who follow Absalom.`

Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or in some other place : and it will come to pass, when some of them be overthrown at the first, that whosoever heareth it will say, There is a slaughter among the people that follow Absalom.
