Hushai Becomes David’s Spy
32 When David came to the summit, where God was worshiped, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat rent and earth upon his head. 33 David said to him, “If you go on with me, you will be a burden to me. 34 But if you return to the city, and say to Ab′salom, ‘I will be your servant, O king; as I have been your father’s servant in time past, so now I will be your servant,’ then you will defeat for me the counsel of Ahith′ophel.

32 When David arrived at the summit, where people used to worship God, Hushai(A) the Arkite(B) was there to meet him, his robe torn and dust(C) on his head. 33 David said to him, “If you go with me, you will be a burden(D) to me. 34 But if you return to the city and say to Absalom, ‘Your Majesty, I will be your servant; I was your father’s servant in the past, but now I will be your servant,’(E) then you can help me by frustrating(F) Ahithophel’s advice.
