  Mead: Chapter XI—THE TALMUD BALAAM JESUS STORIES.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Ahitophel, the Gilonite, was a councillor of David, and was much esteemed for his unerring insight; he, however, revolted against David and cast in his lot with Absalom's rebellion.
The thing had spread too far; even if the leaders were now to return to the strict fold of Jewry, the people would still continue to hold the new views which abrogated their servitude to the galling yoke of the Law.
Jochanan flourished about 130-160 A.D. As it seems easier to assume that the splitting up of the "33 or 34" between Ahitophel and Doeg was the later development, rather than that the supposed ages of Doeg and Ahitophel should have been conflated into the age of Balaam, I am inclined to think that the R.

 Study Scriptures. 2 Samuel Chapter 17:1-29.
When Husai was come to Absalom, Absalom spake unto him saying: Ahitophel hath given such counsel: whether it be best we do after his saying or not, tell thou.
For it was even the LORD's determination to destroy the counsel of Ahitophel: which was good, that the LORD might bring evil upon Absalom.
And when Ahitophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his Ass and arose and gat him home to his own house and to his own city, and put his household in order and hanged himself and died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father.

 Ramallah Online - The Wisdom of Ahitophel
The posteriors of Peres, Ben-Eliezer and their colleagues, Sharon's collaborators in the last government, are itching to regain their soft chairs, from which they were separated with such great difficulty.
Occupation of the Palestinian towns, targeted killing, demolition of houses and uprooting of fruit trees, together with the vision of a so-called Palestinian state in the remote future and under the conditions dictated by him - that is a winning recipe.
True, the Ahitophels agree that Mitzna should add to this dark message some mild words about negotiations with the enemy, finding out whether this is possible and making sure that it is not.

 Maharal on Avot Perek Home Page
As Maharal points out, however, there are people who have had wisdom without fear of God—he uses the example of Ahitophel, an advisor of King David’s who eventually joined Avshalom’s rebellion against his father.
A Mishnah later in Avot mentions that King David learned two halakhot from Ahitophel, and because of that referred to him as "my teacher, my master." Ahitophel thus clearly had wisdom, despite his equally obvious lack of fear of God.
Maharal suggests that the Mishnah’s claim that without fear one cannot have wisdom means that fear of God is the mekayyem, the supportive element of one’s wisdom.

For those of you who are wise, you need to learn the lesson of Ahitophel.
Although he was considered the wisest man in Israel, he became more interested in political power than in righteousness, and he sided with Absalom's rebellion against David.
Even though Ahitophel's counsel remained as brilliant as ever, God frustrated it, and Ahitophel's life came to an abrupt end when he committed suicide.

 Jewish Law - Articles ("Physician - Assisted Suicide: A Halachic Approach")
Ahithofel, who sided with Absalom against David, discovers that the rebellion has failed and kills himself.
Ahitophel is clearly assigned a villainous role in the Biblical narrative and his behavior can hardly be regarded as normative.
Indeed, the Talmud Sanhedrin 90-b states that Ahithofel does not have a share in the world to come.

One of his counselors was named Ahithophel, who also advised his son Absalom while he was trying to take David's life and his throne.
Scripture says that Ahitophel's counsel sounded like someone who "inquired of God." (2Sam 16:23) Have you ever heard someone preach or pray who sounds like they've got God's attention.
You see, Ahitophel may had the king's ear, but he was consistently giving wrong advice.

 Spinoza: Political Treatise: Chapter 7
The fewer counsellors, then, there are, and the more powerful they consequently are, the more the king is in danger of their transferring the dominion to another.
Nothing in fact more alarmed David, than that his own counsellor Ahitophel sided with Absalom.
Still more is this the case, if the whole authority has been transferred absolutely to one man, because it can then be more easily transferred from one to another.

 Debunking "Proof Texts" from the Psalms - Part 4
  Tradition concurs that the Psalm is connected with Absalom's rebellion; the 'familiar friend' (verse 14) is named as Ahitophel in the Targum and in Ethics of the Fathers (4:3).
  Having once been a companion and close confidant of the king, Ahitophel was responsible for inciting David's son, Absalom, to plot against his own father.
  Even though his son Absalom (Avshalom) started a rebellion against him with the help of his trusted advisor Ahitophel (Ahitophel), King David was unwavering in his faith that G-d would help him get through this crisis and prevail.

But I still honor Reb Zalman himself as one of my teachers, because, as it says in the Talmud:

I have endeavoured to extract a meaning out of what remains.
"And the counsel of Ahitophel, which he counselled in those days, was as if a man had enquired at the oracle of God; so was all the counsel of Ahitophel both with David and with Absalum."
Diogenes, is wrong however, in calling him a disciple of Pythagoras (see Bentley on Phalaris), as he lived about a hundred years before his time; his true date being 660 B.C. The code of Zaleucus is stated to have been the first collection of written laws that the Greeks possessed.

It was in moments like these that C. hated lessons with a bitter fury.
He saw no possible redeeming feature in them anywhere, and as he pored over the speech in Absalom and Ahitophel, which he was learning by heart, he wished that all authors, and especially the French and British poets, were at the bottom of the sea.
Mademoiselle Walter was intelligent enough to know that C.'s education was being conducted on radically mistaken lines.
