and it goeth out from Bethel towards Luz, - and passeth over unto the boundary of the Archites at Ataroth;

And it came to pass, when David reached the summit, where he bowed himself down unto God, that lo! there met him, Hushai the Archite, his tunic rent, and earth upon his head.

And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, the friend of David, came in unto Absolom, that Hushai said unto Absolom: Long live the king! Long live the king!

Then said Absolom, I pray you, call ye Hushai the Archite also, - and let us hear what is in, his, mouth, also.

Then said Absolom and all the men of Israel, Better, is the counsel of Hushai the Archite, than the counsel of Ahithophel. Yahweh, indeed, had given charge to frustrate the wise counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that Yahweh might bring upon Absolom, ruin.

And, Ahitophel, was counsellor to the king. And, Hushai the Archite, was the companion of the king.
