So David’s friend Hushai entered Jerusalem just as Absalom arrived.
But Absalom said, “Now call Hushai the Arkite, so I can hear what he says.”
Azariah son of Nathan was in charge of the district governors; Zabud son of Nathan was a priest and adviser to the king;
Ahithophel advised the king. Hushai, from the Arkite people, was the king’s friend.
Then it continued from Bethel (also called Luz) to the Arkite border at Ataroth.
