What does 2 Samuel 17:14 mean?

Absalom and all the men of Israel said, 'Hushai's advice is better than Ahithophel's.' The Lord had decided to defeat Ahithophel's good plan, so He could bring disaster on Absalom. 2 Samuel 17:14 - Modern Text Bible

(They choose Hushai's plan, but the real reason is that God is working behind the scenes to protect David and bring down Absalom.)
