And Absalom sent to Ahithophel the Gilonite, the counselor of David, from his city, from Giloh, where he was sacrificing. And there was a strong conspiracy; and the people with Absalom were increasingly numerous.

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.

They will excommunicate you; but a time is coming when everyone who kills you will think that he is offering God a service.
