	Ahitophel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ahithophel - "brother of insipidity or impiety", a man greatly renowned for his sagacity.
		David sent his old friend Hushai back to Absalom, in order that he might counteract the counsel of Ahithophel (2 Sam.
		This end was so far gained that Ahithophel saw he had no longer any influence, and accordingly he at once left the camp of Absalom and returned to Giloh, his native place, where, after arranging his wordly affairs, he hanged himself, and was buried in the sepulchre of his fathers (2 Sam.

		He was one of David's most trusted advisers, and his counsel was as though one inquired of the word of God." He took a leading part in Absalom's revolt, and his defection was a severe blow to the king, who prayed that God would bring his counsel to " foolishness."
		At Ahithophel's advice Absalom first took the precaution of asserting his claim to the throne by seizing his father's concubines (cf.
		ABNER).-The immediate pursuit of David was then suggested; the advice was accepted, and the sequence of events shows that the king, being warned of this, fled across the Jordan (2 Sam.

		It is evident from the reading that Ahithophel was no ordinary man. Text declares that his word carried such weight that it was as if God himself had spoken.
		In a long list of David's mighty men (23:8-39) we find Eliam who was Ahithophel's own son is named among the group known as "the thirty" (23:34) Just a little pointer to the orthodoxy of Ahithophel's word.
		Whether he enquired of Ahithophel - we don't know (unlikely) but by 15:6 it is possible that Ahithophel was at least weighing up his thoughts.

	Ahitophel
		Ahithophel's wisdom was supernatural, for his counsels always coincided with the oracles rendered by the Urim and Thummim, and great as was his wisdom, it was equalled by his scholarship.
		Ahithophel's feelings had been hurt by his being passed over at the time when David, shortly after ascending the throne, invested, on a single day, no less than ninety thousand functionaries with positions.
		Ahithophel was standing by, and he thought to himself: "Now David will meet with his death, and I shall be king." Just then David said: "Whoever knows how to stem the tide of waters, and fails to do it, will one day throttle himself."

		Further, Ahithophel was not the sort of man to conspire against the interests of his grand-daughter and her son, however he may, earlier, have resented the conduct of David toward her.
		Ahithophel's motive in the rebellion was doubtless ambition for personal power, though he very likely shared with many of his countrymen in the conviction that it was unjust to push aside an older son by elevating a younger son to the throne.
		Ahithophel saw with absolute clearness that Absalom had sacrificed his one opportunity, and he committed suicide to avoid participation in the shameful defeat which he saw could not be averted

		The man said, "Isn't this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam and the wife of Uriah the Hittite?" Bathsheba the grand-daughter of Ahithophel was taken from her husband and her husband was killed by David.
		Absalom was estranged from his father and Ahithophel used that opportunity to participate in the rebellion.

	The Advice of Hushai and Ahithophel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Ahithophel answered, "Lie with your father's concubines whom he left to take care of the palace.
		Then all Israel will hear that you have made yourself a stench in your father's nostrils, and the hands of everyone with you will be strengthened." So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the roof, and he lay with his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel.
		Absalom and all the men of Israel said, "The advice of Hushai the Arkite is better than that of Ahithophel." For the LORD had determined to frustrate the good advice of Ahithophel in order to bring disaster on Absalom.

	[No title]
		At the end of chapter 16, Ahithophel advised a certain course of action to Absalom.
		It appears that Bathesheba may have been a grandaughter of Ahithophel, and this might explain why Ahithophel was willing to turn against David and side with Absalom.

		David's counselor who sided with Absalom in his ill-fated rebellion, then committed suicide when it became apparent that Absalom had decided to follow another man's bad advice (II Samuel 15:12, 17:23).
		One piece of Ahithophel's advice that Absalom did take was to lie with David's concubines (II Samuel 16:21), an act which fulfilled Nathan's prophecy (II Samuel 12:11-12) and in effect meant that Absalom was assuming the throne (II Samuel 3:7).
