Bible Verses About Ahithophel

But a boy saw them and told Avshalom; so both of them took off quickly and came to the house of a man in Bachurim who had a cistern in his courtyard; and they went down into it.

His wife spread a covering over the cistern's opening and scattered drying grain on it, so that nothing showed.

Avshalom's servants came to the woman at the house and asked, "Where are Achima'atz and Y'honatan?"The woman answered them, "They've crossed the stream."After searching and not finding them, they returned to Yerushalayim.

After they had left, the two climbed out of the cistern and went and told King David, "Get up and cross the river, because Achitofel has given such-and-such advice against you."

David and all the people with him got up and crossed the Yarden; by dawn every one of them had crossed the Yarden.

When Achitofel saw that his advice was not being followed, he saddled his donkey, set out, and went home to his own city. After setting his house in order, he hanged himself; he died and was buried in his father's tomb.

Achitofel was an adviser to the king. Hushai the Archi was the king's confidant;

For it was not an enemy who insulted me; if it had been, I could have borne it. It was not my adversary who treated me with scorn; if it had been, I could have hidden myself.

But it was you, a man of my own kind, my companion, whom I knew well.

We used to share our hearts with each other; in the house of God we walked with the crowd.
