Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Samuel 17:23:

• Kupsabiny: “When Ahithophel realized his words/advise had been despised, he climbed his donkey and went to the city he lived in. When he had finished preparing his home/family (he) went to hang himself. Then, that person was buried in the tomb/cave of his father.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “Since Ahithophel realized that the advice he had given had not been followed, he tied his things to his own donkey and went back towards the city, [to] his own house. He put his own house in order, hung himself and died. In this way he died and was buried in his father’s tomb.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “When Ahitofel knew that his advice had- not -been-followed, he rode on his donkey and went-home to his town. He put his household in-order/[lit. give last instructions] and then committed-suicide by hanging himself. He was also buried in the place-of-burial of his father.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “When Ahithophel realized that Absalom was not going to do what he suggested, he put a saddle on his donkey and returned to his own town. He gave to his family instructions about his possessions, and then he hanged himself because he knew that Absalom would be defeated and that he would be considered a traitor and be killed. His body was buried in the tomb where his ancestors had been buried.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
