31 And to David the report was made, saying: “A·hithʹo·phel himself is among those conspiring+ with Abʹsa·lom.”+ At this David said:+ “Turn, please, the counsel of A·hithʹo·phel into foolishness,+ O Jehovah!”+

23 And the counsel of A·hithʹo·phel, with which he counseled in those days, was just as when a man* would inquire of the word of the [true] God.* That was the way all the counsel+ of A·hithʹo·phel+ was both to David and to Abʹsa·lom.

23 As for A·hithʹo·phel, he saw that his counsel had not been acted upon,+ and he proceeded to saddle an ass and rise up and go off to his house at his own city.+ Then he gave commands to his household+ and strangled+ himself* and thus died.+ So he was buried+ in the burial place of his forefathers.

33 And A·hithʹo·phel+ was a counselor+ of the king; and Huʹshai+ the Arʹchite+ was the king’s companion.+
