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

And it came to pass, that when David had come to the top of the mount, where he worshiped God, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat rent, and earth upon his head;

And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, had come to Absalom, that Hushai said to Absalom, God save the king, God save the king.

Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear likewise what he saith.

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

Hezrai the Carmelite, Paarai the Archite,

And the Hivite, and the Archite, and the Sinite,

Ahithophel was the king’s counselor. Hushai the Archite was the king’s friend.
