Someone told David, saying,“ Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” David said,“ Yahweh, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.”

Goshen, Holon, and Giloh; eleven cities with their villages.

Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate bread with me, has lifted up his heel against me.

When Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his donkey, arose, and went home, to his city, and set his house in order, and hanged himself; and he died, and was buried in the tomb of his father.

For it was not an enemy who insulted me, then I could have endured it. Neither was it he who hated me who raised himself up against me, then I would have hidden myself from him.But it was you, a man like me, my companion, and my familiar friend.We took sweet fellowship together. We walked in God’s house with company.

Absalom and all the men of Israel said,“ The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel.” For Yahweh had ordained to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that Yahweh might bring evil on Absalom.

He took him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.

I don’t speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen. But that the Scripture may be fulfilled,‘ He who eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me.’

They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.

Vindicate me, God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation. Oh, deliver me from deceitful and wicked men.For you are the God of my strength. Why have you rejected me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

Ahithophel was the king’s counselor. Hushai the Archite was the king’s friend.

They profess that they know God, but by their deeds they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work.

Yahweh, how my adversaries have increased! Many are those who rise up against me.Many there are who say of my soul,“ There is no help for him in God.” Selah.

But to the wicked God says,“ What right do you have to declare my statutes, that you have taken my covenant on your lips,since you hate instruction, and throw my words behind you?When you saw a thief, you consented with him, and have participated with adulterers.“ You give your mouth to evil. Your tongue frames deceit.You sit and speak against your brother. You slander your own mother’s son.You have done these things, and I kept silent. You thought that I was just like you. I will rebuke you, and accuse you in front of your eyes.

Balaam said to Balak,“ Build here seven altars for me, and prepare here seven bulls and seven rams for me.”

Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.

She wrote in the letters, saying,“ Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.

Then Absalom said to Ahithophel,“ Give your counsel what we shall do.”Ahithophel said to Absalom,“ Go in to your father’s concubines that he has left to keep the house. Then all Israel will hear that you are abhorred by your father. Then the hands of all who are with you will be strong.”So they spread a tent for Absalom on the top of the house, and Absalom went in to his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.The counsel of Ahithophel, which he gave in those days, was as if a man inquired at the inner sanctuary of God. All the counsel of Ahithophel both was like this with David and with Absalom.

Don’t trust in a neighbor. Don’t put confidence in a friend. With the woman lying in your embrace, be careful of the words of your mouth!For the son dishonors the father, the daughter rises up against her mother, the daughter- in- law against her mother- in- law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own house.

The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination— how much more, when he brings it with a wicked mind!

Hear Yahweh’s word, you rulers of Sodom! Listen to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah!“ What are the multitude of your sacrifices to me?”, says Yahweh.“ I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fed animals. I don’t delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs, or of male goats.When you come to appear before me, who has required this at your hand, to trample my courts?Bring no more vain offerings. Incense is an abomination to me. New moons, Sabbaths, and convocations: I can’t stand evil assemblies.My soul hates your New Moons and your appointed feasts. They are a burden to me. I am weary of bearing them.When you spread out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you. Yes, when you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood.Wash yourselves. Make yourself clean. Put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes. Cease to do evil.
