2 Samuel 15:29-35
29Therefore ZadokH6659 and AbiatharH54 returnedH7725 the arkH727 of GodH430 to JerusalemH3389 and remainedH3427 thereH8033.
30And DavidH1732 wentH5927 up the ascentH4608 of the Mount of OlivesH2132, and weptH1058 as he wentH5927, and 1his headH7218 was coveredH2645 and he walkedH1980 2barefootH3182. Then allH3605 the peopleH5971 whoH834 were with him eachH376 coveredH2645 his headH7218 and wentH5927 up weepingH1058 as they wentH5927. 31Now someone toldH5046 DavidH1732, sayingH559, “3AhithophelH302 is among the conspiratorsH7194 with AbsalomH53.” And DavidH1732 saidH559, “O LordH3068, I prayH4994, 4makeH5528 the counselH6098 of AhithophelH302 foolishnessH5528.”
32It happenedH1961 as DavidH1732 was comingH935 to the summitH7218, whereH834H8033 GodH430 was worshipedH7812, that beholdH2009, HushaiH2365 the 5ArchiteH757 metH7122 him with his 6coatH3801 tornH7167 and 7dustH127 on his headH7218. 33DavidH1732 saidH559 to him, “IfH518 you passH5674 overH5674 with me, then you will be 8a burdenH4853 to me. 34But ifH518 you returnH7725 to the cityH5892, and 9sayH559 to AbsalomH53, ‘I will be your servantH5650, O kingH4428; as I have beenH1961 your father’sH1 servantH5650 in timeH227 pastH3975, so I will nowH6258 be your servantH5650,’ then you can thwartH6565 the counselH6098 of AhithophelH302 for me. 35Are not ZadokH6659 and AbiatharH54 the priestsH3548 with you thereH8033? So it shall be that 10whateverH3605H1697H834 you hearH8085 from the king’sH4428 houseH1004, you shall reportH5046 to ZadokH6659 and AbiatharH54 the priestsH3548.
