2 Samuel 17:1-3
Hushai Saves David
1Moreover, Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Let me choose twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue David tonight. 2I will come upon him while he is aweary and discouraged and throw him into a panic, and all the people who are with him will flee. bI will strike down only the king, 3and 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, ▼▼Septuagint; Hebrew back to you. Like the return of the whole is the man whom you seek
and all the people will be at peace.” Psalms 10:9
9he lurks in ambush like da lion in his ethicket;he flurks that he may seize the poor;
he seizes the poor when he draws him into his gnet.
Psalms 64:2-5
2Hide me from hthe secret plots of the wicked,from the throng of evildoers,
3who iwhet their tongues like swords,
who jaim bitter words like arrows,
4shooting from kambush at the blameless,
shooting at him suddenly and lwithout fear.
5They mhold fast to their evil purpose;
they talk of nlaying snares secretly,
thinking, o“Who can see them?”
Psalms 119:110
110The wicked have laid pa snare for me,but qI do not stray from your precepts.
Psalms 140:5
5The arrogant have rhidden a trap for me,and with cords they have spread sa net; ▼
▼Or they have spread cords as a net
beside the way they have set usnares for me. Selah
Psalms 141:9
9Keep me from vthe trap that they have laid for meand from the snares of evildoers!
Luke 20:19-20
Paying Taxes to Caesar
19 wThe scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him at that very hour, for they perceived that he had told this parable against them, but they feared the people. 20 xSo they ywatched him and sent spies, who zpretended to be sincere, that they might aacatch him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the authority and jurisdiction of abthe governor.
