John Gill Commentary 2 Samuel 17:6

"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." — 2 Samuel 17:6 (ASV)

And when Hushai was come to Absalom
Into the council chamber, very probably:

Absalom spoke unto him, saying, Ahithophel has spoken after this
manner ;
and then related the counsel he had given as before:

shall we do [after] his saying ?
is it right to proceed on this scheme, and carry it into execution?

if not, speak you ;
your mind freely, without any reserve, or fear of giving any offence.
