Exegesis
The name achitophel {אֲחִיתֹפֶל | ʾa-ḥî-ṭō-phel} identifies the counselor, and the temporal phrase bapaam hazot {בַּפַּ֥עַם הַזֹּֽאת | ba-ppa-ʿam ha-ẓō-ṯōṯ} ‘at this time’ specifies when. English structure requires rendering the relative clause with “that Ahithophel advised” and placing the temporal phrase at the end to mirror Hebrew emphasis.
In context — 2 Samuel 17:7
And Hushai said to Absalom, “The advice Ahithophel has offered on this occasion is not good.”
