2 Samuel 17:23

17:23 When Ahithophel realized that his advice had not been followed, he saddled his donkey and returned to his house in his hometown. After setting his household in order, he hanged himself. So he died and was buried in the grave ¹  of his father.

2 Samuel 19:6

19:6 You seem to love your enemies and hate your friends! For you have as much as declared today that leaders and servants don’t matter to you. I realize now ²  that if ³  Absalom were alive and all of us were dead today, ⁴  it would be all right with you.

[17:23]  ¹ tc The Greek recensions of Origen and Lucian have here “house” for “grave.”

[19:6]  ² tn Heb “today.”

[19:6]  ³ tc The translation follows the Qere, 4QSam^a, and many medieval Hebrew mss in reading לוּ (lu, “if”) rather than MT לֹא (lo’, “not”).

[19:6]  ⁴ tc The Lucianic Greek recension and Syriac Peshitta lack “today.”
