MY PROPOSAL

Your Honour, King Avshalom, לא טובה העצה אשר יעץ אחיתפל בעפם הזאות  You know your father, you know the men that are with him, you know that they are strong warriors, they're embittered in spirit, they're like a bear in the field who've lost a cub. Your father is a man of war. He will always be aware that some will come and ambush him. Behold, your father is hiding in some crevice or cave and if one soldier falls, Dovid will know he is under attack. Even if someone has a lion heart, it will melt before Dovid's greatness. Therefore I suggest that we gather all of Israel from Dan to Bear Sheva, gather as many people as you can. So many they will be like the sand on the sea. You, Avshalom should go into battle. We will come upon him in one of the places where he is found, we will come upon him like dew on the ground and there will not be one of his supporters that escape. And if he will run to a city, bring all the men to the city and destroy it. We need the mass conscription because he is a cornered warrior and will fight with everything he's got

(P.S. the mass conscription will take time and Dovid will be able to get further away)
