21.他們走後,二人從井裏上來,去告訴大衛王說:「亞希多弗如此如此定計害你,你們務要起來,快快過河。」
After they had gone, the two climbed out of the well and went to inform King David. They said to him, 「Set out and cross the river at once; Ahithophel has advised such and such against you.」
22.於是大衛和跟隨他的人都起來,過約但河。到了天亮,無一人不過約但河的。
So David and all the people with him set out and crossed the Jordan. By daybreak, no one was left who had not crossed the Jordan.
23.亞希多弗見不依從他的計謀,就備上驢,歸回本城;到了家,留下遺言,便吊死了,葬在他父親的墳墓裏。
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 house in order and then hanged himself. So he died and was buried in his father’s tomb.
