In the book of 2 Samuel, chapter 17, Absalom takes advice on what to do next from two men: Ahithophel and Hushai. He wanted to know how he should proceed in defeating King David.
Ahithophel went first. He advised to gather a large army and storm the caves, for he was certain that was where David would be.
Hushai, on the other hand, on the strong will of God, said that Ahithophel's advice was not very good and advised to bring together all of the men of Israel and lead them personally into battle.
Absalom went with Hushai's advice.
Then, Hushai went a servant to give King David a message on what was being planned.
King David escaped by crossing the Jordan before Absalom could cross it.
