23 When A·hithʹo·phel saw that his advice had not been acted on, he saddled a donkey and went to his house in his hometown.+ After he gave instructions to his household,+ he hanged* himself.+ So he died and was buried in the burial place of his forefathers.

10 So they hanged Haʹman on the stake that he had prepared for Morʹde·cai, and the king’s rage subsided.
