Andra Samuelsboken 16:23

På den tiden ansågs Ahitofels råd lika mycket värt som om man hade frågat Guds ord. Så högt värdesatte både David och Absalom hans råd.

And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counselled in those days, was as if a man had enquired at the oracle of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.
