New American Standard Bible
Chapter 16
20
Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, 'Give your advice. What should we do?'
21
Ahithophel said to Absalom, 'Have relations with your father’s concubines, whom he has left behind to take care of the house; then all Israel will hear that you have made yourself repulsive to your father. The hands of all who are with you will also be strengthened.'
22
So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the roof, and Absalom had relations with his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.
King James Version

20
Then said Absalom to Ahithophel, Give counsel among you what we shall do.
21
And Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Go in unto thy father's concubines, which he hath left to keep the house; and all Israel shall hear that thou art abhorred of thy father: then shall the hands of all that are with thee be strong.
22
So they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the house; and Absalom went in unto his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel.

22
So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the roof, and he slept with his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.

20
Then Absalom turned to Ahithophel and asked him, 'What should I do next?'
21
Ahithophel told him, 'Go and sleep with your father’s concubines, for he has left them here to look after the palace. Then all Israel will know that you have insulted your father beyond hope of reconciliation, and they will throw their support to you.'
22
So they set up a tent on the palace roof where everyone could see it, and Absalom went in and had sex with his father’s concubines.
