2 Samuel 15:32-34
New American Standard Bible 1995
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 David said to him, “If you pass over with me, then you will be (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; as I have been your father’s servant in time past, so I will now be your servant,’ then you can thwart the counsel 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.
