Ar'chite, The
(as if from a place named Erech, on the frontiers of Ephraim), the usual designation of David's friend Hushai.
Now when David had come to the top of the slope, where they gave worship to God, Hushai the Archite came to him in great grief with dust on his head:
Then Absalom said, Now send for Hushai the Archite, and let us give ear to what he has to say.
Then Absalom and all the men of Israel said, Hushai's suggestion is better than that of Ahithophel. For it was the purpose of the Lord to make the wise designs of Ahithophel without effect, so that the Lord might send evil on Absalom.
