Avshalom sent for Achitofel the Giloni, David's counselor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he was offering the sacrifices. The conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually with Avshalom.
It happened that when David had come to the top [of the ascent], where God was worshiped, behold, Chushai the Arki came to meet him with his coat torn, and dirt on his head.
So Chushai, David's friend, came into the city; and Avshalom came into Yerushalayim.
The king, and all the people who were with him, came weary; and he refreshed himself there.
