2 Samuel 15:29-35

29So Zadok and Abiathar returned the ark of God to Jerusalem and remained there.

30And David was going up the ascent of the Mount of Olives, weeping as he went, and 1his head was covered, and he was walking 2barefoot. Then all the people who were with him each covered his own head, and they were going up, weeping as they went. 31Now someone informed David, saying, “3Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” And David said, “Lord, please 4make the advice of Ahithophel foolish.”

32It happened as David was coming to the summit, where God was worshiped, that behold, Hushai the 5Archite met him with his 6coat torn, and 7dust on his head. 33And David said to him, “If you go over with me, then you will become 8a burden to me. 34But if you return to the city and 9say to Absalom, ‘I will be your servant, O king; even as I was your father’s servant in time past, so now I will also be your servant,’ then you can foil the advice of Ahithophel for me. 35Are Zadok and Abiathar the priests not with you there? So it shall be that 10whatever you hear from the king’s house, you shall report to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
