וְאָמַ֔ר (אָמַ֔ר) 'a.Mar “he will say”

Then Absalom and all the men of Israel said, Hushai's suggestion is better than that of Ahithophel. For it was the purpose of the Lord to make the wise designs of Ahithophel without effect, so that the Lord might send evil on Absalom.

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (יֹּ֤אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

Then Hushai said to Zadok and Abiathar, the priests, This is the suggestion made by Ahithophel to Absalom and the responsible men of Israel, and this is what I said to them.
