And one told David, saying, Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O Jehovah, I pray, make the counsel of Ahithophel foolish.
And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, Good is the counsel of Hushai the Archite from the counsel of Ahithophel. And Jehovah had ordained to break down the good counsel of Ahithophel, for the sake of bringing the evil of Jehovah to Absalom.
And Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not done. And he saddled the ass and rose up and went to his house, to his city. And he gave command to his household, then hanged himself, and died. And he was buried in the grave of his father.
So, behold, I am adding to do wonderfully with this people, the wonder, even a wonderful wonder. For the wisdom of his wise ones shall perish, and the wit of his witty ones shall be hidden.
And He has raised up His words which He spoke against us, and against our judges who judge us, by bringing on us a great evil, which under the whole heavens has not been done as it has been done to Jerusalem.
