‏ 2 Samuel 17:11-13

v. 11-13: Hushai suggested that Absalom should gather a huge army from all Israel and lead it himself. He said that with so many people, they could easily defeat David wherever he was, even if he hid in a city (2 Samuel 17:11-13 a). This advice played to Absalom’s pride and desire for glory, but it would give David time to escape.
