Had you heard of the prophetic parallel before, between David and Ahithophel , and Christ the greater David and Judas Iscariot? I myself was unaware of its significance. Bible is amazing.

Can you give a thumbnail description of that parallel?

i did above, see what you think,
In two cases of suicide recorded in the Bible, strangulation by hanging was employed. Ahithophel, David’s traitorous counselor, strangled himself (hanged himself). (2Sa 17:23) Ahithophels action was prophetic of that of one of Jesus’ apostles who proved to be traitorous, Judas Iscariot. (Ps 41:9; Joh 13:18) Judas hanged himself also. (Mt 27:5) Apparently the rope, or perhaps a branch of the tree on which Judas hanged himself, broke, “and pitching head foremost he noisily burst in his midst and all his intestines were poured out.”Ac 1:18.

Can you give another scriptural reference to substantiate it as prophetic?
