Context of 2 Samuel 15:28

26However, if he should say, ‘I do not take pleasure in you,’ then he will deal with me in a way that he considers appropriate.” 27The king said to Zadok the priest, “Are you a seer? Go back to the city in peace! Your son Ahimaaz and Abiathar’s son Jonathan may go with you and Abiathar. Look, I will be waiting at the fords of the desert until word from you reaches me.” 29So Zadok and Abiathar took the ark of God back to Jerusalem and remained there. 30As David was going up the Mount of Olives, he was weeping as he went; his head was covered and his feet were bare. All the people who were with him also had their heads covered and were weeping as they went up.
