TSK · Proverbs 20:18

Now would God this people were vnder mine hand: then would I put away Abimelech; he said to Abimelech, Increase thine army, and come out.

Behold, ye are al children of Israel: giue your aduise, and counsell herein.

(For the children of Israel had gone vp and wept before the Lord vnto the euening, and had asked of the Lorde, saying, Shall I goe againe to battel against the children of Beniamin my brethren? and the Lord said, Go vp against them)

Then Abner called to Ioab, and said, Shall the sworde deuoure for euer? Knowest thou not, that it will be bitternesse in the latter ende? Howe long then shall it be, or thou bid the people returne from following their brethren?

Thou thinkest, Surely I haue eloquence, but counsell and strength are for the warre. On whom then doest thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?

Where no counsell is, the people fall: but where many counsellers are, there is health.

For with counsel thou shalt enterprise thy warre, and in the multitude of them that can giue counsell, is health.

Or what King going to make warre against another King, sitteth not downe first, and taketh counsell, whether he be able with ten thousande, to meete him that commeth against him with twentie thousand?
