2 Samuel 17:22-24

The Voice

²² And knowing about the danger, David and everyone with him crossed over the Jordan River and moved deep into the wilderness. By daybreak not a single man loyal to David was left on the near side of the Jordan.

²³ When Ahithophel saw that his plan was ignored, he knew the best hope for victory was lost. He saddled his donkey and went home; and after setting his affairs in order, he hanged himself and died. He was buried within his father’s tomb.

²⁴ Meanwhile David went on to Mahanaim as Absalom was crossing over the Jordan with all of the men of Israel.
