Advice

“Now listen to me; I will give you some advice, and may God be with you. You must be the people’s representative before God and bring their causes to Him.”

“If you follow this advice and God so directs you, then you will be able to endure, and all these people can go home in peace.””

“Behold, all you Israelites, give your advice and verdict here and now.””

“Now in those days the advice of Ahithophel was like the consultation of the word of God. Such was the regard that both David and Absalom had for Ahithophel’s advice.”

“Hushai replied, “This time the advice of Ahithophel is not sound.””

“Then Absalom and all the men of Israel said, “The advice of Hushai the Archite is better than that of Ahithophel.” For the LORD had purposed to thwart the good counsel of Ahithophel in order to bring disaster on Absalom.”

“After the men had gone, Ahimaaz and Jonathan climbed up out of the well and went to inform King David, saying, “Get up and cross over the river at once, for Ahithophel has given this advice against you.””

“When Ahithophel saw that his advice had not been followed, he saddled his donkey and set out for his house in his hometown. He put his affairs in order and hanged himself. So he died and was buried in his father’s tomb.”
