Exegesis
The purpose clause ləvaʿăbur hāḇî Yəhōwāh ʾel-Avšālōm ʾet-hārāʿāh {לְבַעֲבוּר הָבִיא יְהוָה אֶל־אַבְשָׁלֹם אֶת־הָרָעָה | ləvaʿăbur hāḇî Yəhōwāh ʾel-Avšālōם ʾet-hārָאָה} ‘so that the LORD might bring calamity on Absalom’ underscores divine sovereignty. The English rendition splits the Hebrew clauses to preserve narrative clarity and reflect theological causality.
In context — 2 Samuel 17:14
Absalom and all the men of Israel said, “The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel.” The LORD commanded the frustration of Ahithophel’s good counsel in order to bring disaster upon Absalom.
