and goes out from Bethel to Luz, and passes along to the borders of the Archites, to Ataroth;

And it happened when David had come to the top, where he worshiped God, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat torn and earth upon his head.

And it happened, when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, had come to Absalom, Hushai said to Absalom, Let the king live, let the king live!

And Absalom said, Please call Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear likewise what is in his mouth.

And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel. For Jehovah had appointed to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that Jehovah might bring evil on Absalom.

And Ahithophel was the king's counselor. And Hushai the Archite was the king's companion.
