2 Samuel 15:32-34
New American Standard Bible
32 It happened as David was coming to the summit, where God was worshiped, that behold, Hushai the (A)Archite met him with his [a]coat torn, and [b]dust on his head. 33 And David said to him, “If you go over with me, then you will become (B)a burden to me. 34 But if you return to the city and (C)say to Absalom, ‘I will be your servant, O king; even as I was your father’s servant in time past, so now I will also be your servant,’ then you can foil the advice of Ahithophel for me.

New International Version
32 When David arrived at the summit, where people used to worship God, Hushai(A) the Arkite(B) was there to meet him, his robe torn and dust(C) on his head. 33 David said to him, “If you go with me, you will be a burden(D) to me. 34 But if you return to the city and say to Absalom, ‘Your Majesty, I will be your servant; I was your father’s servant in the past, but now I will be your servant,’(E) then you can help me by frustrating(F) Ahithophel’s advice.
