2 Samuel 15:30-32
International Standard Version
30 David then left, going up the Mount of Olives,[a] crying as he went, with his head covered and his feet bare. All of the people who were with him covered their own heads and climbed up the Mount of Olives,[b] crying as they went along.
31 Just then, someone told David, “Ahithophel is one of Absalom’s conspirators!”
So David prayed, “Lord, please turn Ahithophel’s counsel into foolishness.”

2 Samuel 15:30-32
New International Version
30 But David continued up the Mount of Olives, weeping(A) as he went; his head(B) was covered and he was barefoot. All the people with him covered their heads too and were weeping as they went up. 31 Now David had been told, “Ahithophel(C) is among the conspirators with Absalom.” So David prayed, “Lord, turn Ahithophel’s counsel into foolishness.”
32 When David arrived at the summit, where people used to worship God, Hushai(D) the Arkite(E) was there to meet him, his robe torn and dust(F) on his head.
