Consilium autem Achitophel quod dabat in diebus illis, quasi si quis consuleret Deum : sic erat omne consilium Achitophel, et cum esset cum David, et cum esset cum Absalom.
Vulgate
καὶ ἡ βουλὴ Ἀχειτόφελ ἣν ἐβουλεύσατο ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ταῖς πρώταις ὃν τρόπον ἐπερωτήσῃ ἐν λόγῳ τοῦ θεοῦ· οὕτως πᾶσα ἡ βουλὴ τῷ Ἀχειτόφελ καί γε τῷ Δαυεὶδ καί γε τῷ Ἀβεσσαλώμ.
LXX
