2 Samuel 15:31

31 Now someone told David, saying, "Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom." And David said, "O LORD , I pray, make the counsel of Ahithophel foolishness."

2 Samuel 15:34

34 "But if you return to the city, and say to Absalom, 'I will be your servant, O king; as I have been your father's servant in time past, so I will now be your servant,' then you can thwart the counsel of Ahithophel for me.

2 Samuel 16:20

20 Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, "Give your advice. What shall we do?"

2 Samuel 16:23

23 The advice of Ahithophel, which he gave in those days, was as if one inquired of the word of God; so was all the advice of Ahithophel regarded by both David and Absalom.

2 Samuel 17:7

7 So Hushai said to Absalom, "This time the advice that Ahithophel has given is not good."

2 Samuel 17:14

14 Then Absalom and all the men of Israel said, "The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel." For the LORD had ordained to thwart the good counsel of Ahithophel, so that the LORD might bring calamity on Absalom.

2 Samuel 17:23

23 Now when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his donkey and arose and went to his home, to his city, and set his house in order, and strangled himself; thus he died and was buried in the grave of his father.
