And David sent and inquired about the woman. And [one] said, [Is] not this Bathsheba the daughter of Eliab, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?

And it was reported to David, saying, Ahithophel also [is] among the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O Lord my God, disconcert, I pray, the counsel of Ahithophel.

And Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, and he saddled his donkey, and rose and departed to his house into his city; and he gave orders to his household, and hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the tomb of his father.

Ahithophel [was] the king's counselor, and Hushai the chief friend of the king.

And after Ahithophel was Jehoiada the son of Benaiah, then Abiathar; and Joab [was] the king's commander-in-chief.
