You Know You Know Them, Right

Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear likewise what he saith. And when Hushai was come to Absalom, Absalom spake unto him, saying, Ahithophel hath spoken after this manner: shall we do after his saying? if not; speak thou. And Hushai said unto Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel hath given is not good at this time. For, said Hushai, thou knowest thy father and his men, that they be mighty men, and they be chafed in their minds, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field: and thy father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people. 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. And he also that is valiant, whose heart is as the heart of a lion, shall utterly melt: for all Israel knoweth that thy father is a mighty man, and they which be with him are valiant men.-2 Samuel 17:5-10***Over a decade after David was born, David was anointed by Samuel, the priest, prophet, and judge, to reign as king over the Israelites in the Promised Land, according to the command of the Lord God. When David was 30 years old, he began to reign only over the tribe of Judah, the tribe of his birth. When David was 37 1/2 years old, he came the 2nd king to reign over all of the Israelites. During David's reign, Hushai showed his support for David after Absalom, the son born to David and Maacah, had himself proclaimed king. Meanwhile, Ahithophel was on Absalom's side and advised Absalom. David prayed to the Lord God and asked that Ahithophel's advice be made into nonsense. Moreover, David led his friend and supporter Hushai to feign allegiance to Absalom. Ahithophel advised Absalom to engage in intimacy with David's concubines, and told Absalom to select 12,000 men and pursue and kill David. Although Absalom and the elders liked Ahithophel's plan, Absalom also wanted to hear from Hushai. Adonijah was born to David and Haggith. After Adonijah worked to have himself proclaimed king while David reigned, David proclaimed Solomon, the 2nd son born to David and Bathsheba,  to be the king. Ahithophel was possibly Bathsheba's grandfather inasmuch as Bathsheba's father was named Eliam and Eliam's father  was named Ahithophel. Over 900 years after Rehoboam, the son born to Solomon and Naamah, became the 4th king to reign over all of the Israelites, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, Ruth, 1 Samuel 1:1-3:21, 8:1-31:13, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings 1:1-14:31, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 10:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles 1:1-12:16, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
