And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counselled in those days, [was] as if a man had enquired at the oracle of God: so [was] all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.
And the counsel {H6098} of Ahithophel {H302}, which he counselled {H3289} in those days {H3117}, was as if a man {H376} had enquired {H7592} at the oracle {H1697} of God {H430}: so was all the counsel {H6098} of Ahithophel {H302} both with David {H1732} and with Absalom {H53}.
In those days Achitofel's advice was regarded as highly as if someone had sought out the word of God; it was this way with Achitofel's advice both to David and to Avshalom.
Now in those days the advice of Ahithophel was like the consultation of the word of God. Such was the regard that both David and Absalom had for Ahithophel’s advice.
And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he gave in those days, was as if a man inquired at the oracle of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.
