32 Now it happened when David had come to the top of the mountain, where he worshiped God—there was Hushai the (A)Archite coming to meet him (B)with his robe torn and dust on his head. 33 David said to him, “If you go on with me, then you will become (C)a burden to me. 34 But if you return to the city, and say to Absalom, (D)‘I will be your servant, O king; as I was your father’s servant previously, so I will now also be your servant,’ then you may defeat the counsel of Ahithophel for me. 35 And do you not have Zadok and Abiathar the priests with you there? Therefore it will be that whatever you hear from the king’s house, you shall tell to (E)Zadok and Abiathar the priests. 36 Indeed they have there (F)with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok’s son, and Jonathan, Abiathar’s son; and by them you shall send me everything you hear.”
