Talmud zu Schemuel II 17:23
וַאֲחִיתֹ֣פֶל רָאָ֗ה כִּ֣י לֹ֣א נֶעֶשְׂתָה֮ עֲצָתוֹ֒ וַיַּחֲבֹ֣שׁ אֶֽת־הַחֲמ֗וֹר וַיָּ֜קָם וַיֵּ֤לֶךְ אֶל־בֵּיתוֹ֙ אֶל־עִיר֔וֹ וַיְצַ֥ו אֶל־בֵּית֖וֹ וַיֵּחָנַ֑ק וַיָּ֕מָת וַיִּקָּבֵ֖ר בְּקֶ֥בֶר אָבִֽיו׃ (ס)
Und als Ahithophel sah, dass sein Rat nicht befolgt wurde, sattelte er seinen Esel und stand auf und brachte ihn nach Hause in seine Stadt und ordnete sein Haus und erwürgte sich; und er starb und wurde im Grab seines Vaters begraben.
Jerusalem Talmud Sanhedrin
How was he removed238What visible sign was given that he had no part in the Future World.? When Aḥitophel saw that his counsel was not taken, he saddled his donkey2602S. 17:23. He committed suicide; therefore his death could not scour off his sins, Note 29. A parallel to this paragraph is in the Babli, Bava batra 147a., etc. Three things did Aḥitophel command his sons: Do not rebel against the dynasty of David, since we find that the Holy One, praise to Him, shows them favor even when they acted brazenly261Greek παρρησία, as in the case of Batseba.. Do not have dealings with anybody who has a lucky streak262Since the other party would win in court or in contract negotiations.. And if Pentecost was clear, sow wheat of the best quality263The next fall planting season.. But we do not know whether clear from dew or clear from šarav264The dry wind from the East, Arabic hamsin..
