And one told David, saying, Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Avshalom. And David said, O YY , I pray thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.
And Avshalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's counsellor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he offered sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually with Avshalom.
And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.
And they came to the chief kohanim and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul.
