23And when AhithophelH302 sawH7200 that his counselH6098 was not followed, he saddledH2280 his ass, and aroseH6965, and gat him home, unto his cityH5892, and setH6965 his houseH1004 in order, and hanged himself; and he diedH4191, and was buriedH6912 in the sepulchre of his fatherH1.

24Then DavidH1732 cameH935 to MahanaimH4266. And AbsalomH53 passedH5674 over the JordanH3383, he and all the menH376 of IsraelH3478 with him. 25And AbsalomH53 setH7760 AmasaH6021 over the hostH6635 instead of JoabH3097. Now AmasaH6021 was the sonH1121 of a manH376, whose nameH8034 was Ithra the IsraeliteH3481, that wentH935 in to Abigal the daughterH1323 of NahashH5176, sisterH269 to ZeruiahH6870, Joab’s motherH517. 26And IsraelH3478 and AbsalomH53 encampedH2583 in the landH776 of GileadH1568.
