Ar'chite, The
(as if from a place named Erech, on the frontiers of Ephraim), the usual designation of David's friend Hushai.
When David reached the summit, where he used to worship God, Hushai the Arkite met him with his clothes torn and dirt on his head.
But Absalom said, "Call for Hushai the Arkite, and let's hear what he has to say."
Then Absalom and all the men of Israel said, "The advice of Hushai the Arkite sounds better than the advice of Ahithophel." Now the Lord had decided to frustrate the sound advice of Ahithophel, so that the Lord could bring disaster on Absalom.
