2 Samuel 17:23

Sementara itu, ketika Ahitofel melihat bahwa nasihatnya tidak diikuti, dia memasang pelana keledainya dan pulang ke kota asalnya. Dia memberikan pesan-pesan terakhir kepada keluarganya, lalu gantung diri. Demikianlah Ahitofel meninggal. Dia dikuburkan di samping makam ayahnya.

¶ And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose, and gat him home to his house, to his city, and put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father.
