Exegesis

The vav-consecutive Qal perfect wəḥāzqū yədēy kol-ʾăšer ʾittāḵ {וְחָזְקוּ יְדֵ֖י כָּל־אֲשֶׁ֥ר אִתָּֽךְ | wəḥāzqū yədēy kol-ʾăšer ʾittāḵ} conveys the strengthening of his supporters. The Hebrew clause order—command, justification, consequence—is preserved to maintain the rhetorical force of the counsel.

And Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Go in to your father’s concubines, whom he has left to guard the house. Then all Israel will hear that you have made yourself detestable to your father, and the hands of all who are with you will be strengthened .”
